Here's a phrase that I heard a lot throughout high school and university computer science classes:
"That's not an issue for modern JVMs."
Usually this would come up in discussions about overall performance or optimization strategies. It was always treated as a kind of magical final answer, though, as if it makes issues no longer worth thinking about. And that just leads me to wonder: what are the differences between the prototypical "modern JVM" and older JVMs, really?
