Java bytecode track

[MartinRixham]

I don't know if you've considered making a Java bytecode track but I think it would be a fun one.

@MartinRixham: Hi, and sorry for the delay.

You're right, that does sound fun. We do have at least x86-64-assembly and mips tracks, but this would be a first VM. My intuition tells me that the request is borderline; for example, we don't have framework tracks (jQuery, Rails, for example).

Are you asking because you might be interested in making this track?

hi

I don't really see the comparison with jQuery or Rails. Bytecode is a language in its own right and a fairly high level one once you get past the binary encoding.

If I find some time I'd happily contribute to a bytecode track.

Yes, I understand that that's why Java can so easily be decompiled. To request the creation of a new track, jump over to the Request a new Exercism language track repo.
