ASM vs. Javassist

Hi,

I noticed you chose ASM and not Javassist.  I'd be curious to learn why.
 Is Javassist dead-ish?

Thanks,
Otis

Thanks for this valuable info.  I think I see more references to ASM than
Javassist - maybe because of 3) :)

I don't know why the person from my team who picked Javassist picked it
back when he picked it, a few years ago.

Yeah, Javassist doesn't look super healthy/active:

Hi

without any order:

1) we are used to asm I think
2) asm is fast
3) javassist has/had for a long time problematic issues like memory leaks
(fixed - regressed)
4) we need low level control and asm exactly matches it

Maybe to be complete you need to answer the question: why would you have
chosen javassist?
