VM Rumble, Porting and Architectures

There are lots of runtimes able to execute your java byte code. But which one is the best, coolest, smartest, easiest portable or just simply the most fun?

Various virtual machine hackers will each give a short presentation on what makes their runtime special and fun to work with. What cool things they have been doing this last year. What are their plans for next year.

What can other runtimes learn from their experiences.

And how can YOU help! The session will end with a general VM discussion.
