I'm not sure how closely you actually read his post because he doesn't say anything you attribute to him about software written for VMs being stupid--in fact he explicitly states that it makes a lot of sense in desktop environments because it improves programmer productivity. He's got a heading, in all caps, saying "GC ON MOBILE IS NOT THE SAME ANIMAL AS GC ON THE DESKTOP", and he quotes, while indicating agreement with, guys like Herb Sutter and Miguel de Icaza explicitly stating that managed languages make tradeoffs for developer productivity. Which they do, and those tradeoffs don't really work on mobile (and won't until we see significantly improved memory density, among other things).

Disagree with him if you want to--I'd like to, because I like the JVM and the CLR, but he has the weight of evidence on his side--but can we not make stuff up?
