Companion source code for the Chinese book '自己动手写Java虚拟机' (Write Your Own Java Virtual Machine), implementing a JVM in Go. It serves as a hands-on educational resource for learning how JVMs work by building one from scratch.

Use cases

• learn how the JVM works internally
• build a Java virtual machine in Go
• study bytecode interpretation
• follow a book tutorial on implementing a JVM
• compare community JVM implementations in other languages

When to choose

• you want to learn JVM internals by hands-on implementation
• you're reading the accompanying book and need its source code
• you want a small, readable JVM codebase written in Go

When to avoid

• you need a production-grade JVM to run real applications
• you want a JVM with full spec compliance, JIT, or garbage collection tuning
• you need English-language documentation
