Main Arguments For or Against Using JVM
This is my first question on Stackoverflow, so please forgive me if I didn't structure it properly... or if I missed a similar post somewhere.

I'm currently self learning scala for my basic programming needs, with the intension of picking up the Lift or Play Framework afterwards to help me develop some web apps.

I hear a lot about the JVM, with a lot of mixed feelings. Could someone please sum up the main For and Against arguments one should consider when deciding to use the JVM?

Thanks in advance,
