Consider changing "VM" terminology

Open housel opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

In its current context, MMTk can be used for language runtimes that are not actually Virtual Machines. I suggest that might be good if MMTk could change the terminology used to so that it would include all language run-time systems, not just JVM or similar execution environments. LanguageRunTime or ExecutionEnvironment might be plausible candidates for an alternative name.

Yes, this is a good point.

I suggest we move to LRT (Language RunTime).
