Does this mean that code running inside Jacobin might be vulnerable to memory exhaustion issues[1], whereas in JVM they might have gotten an OutOfMemoryError instead because JVM heap size is fixed at startup time?

Interesting idea. That sounds like this could run java programs with only the memory they actually need, instead of dividing a server up into pieces just because a java program "might" some day, possibly, maybe, ever need that much.

Which tends to be cargo culted into "use these arguments when running java programs", thus a "hello world" responder gets allocated 128GB of ram.
