This JVM is a rather new project that was started from the ground up to build a robust, extremely portable, efficient, and fully specifications-compliant (JVM spec, Java Native Interface, Invocation interface, ...) Java Virtual Machine that would be easy to maintain and to extend.
The core engine is an interpreter which uses state-of-the-art techniques to deliver performance that can approach that of a "naive" just-in-time "JIT" compiler, while retaining the software engineering advantages of interpreters: portability, maintainability and simplicity.
This simplicity makes SableVM's source code very accessible and easy to understand for new users/programmers.

Besides mailing lists, developersIn computing, a programmer is someone who does computer programming and develops computer software. A programmer can be one who develops and maintains software on a large mainframe system or one who develops software primarily for use on personal computer can usually be reached via an IRC channel on irc.sablevm.org (irc.freenode.net alias) #sablevm.
