# Purposes of Chronicle Map specification
# Purposes of Chronicle Map Specification
- To give ability to write a small, drastically simplified Chronicle Map implementation in Java,
for a specific use-case. It could hard-code many aspects, which the reference implementation have
to handle as abstractions, that is harder for JVM to execute efficiently. Another way of improving
performance is weakening guarantees, implied by the specification and the reference implementation.

- To provide the ability to write a Chronicle Map implementation in a non-JVM language e.g. C++, C#.
As Chronicle Map is designed for concurrent inter-process access, performance-critical operations
on a Chronicle Map instance could be done from a C++ process, while a concurrent Java process
is doing some duty tasks such as backup to a rational database.
