>>> It's true, interpreted computer languages are not new. And, putting
the language interpreter in firmware is not new, either ( I seem to
remember ROM BASIC in the early PC ). Suns innovation for Java
is its promise of standardization and its scalability along with
optimizations that will allow it to run as fast as natively
compiled code. Now that is really something.

And it is ironic that Sun Labs innovated much of the Just-In-Time compiler technology, ignored it, and then only realized its value when a small startup built a commercial product using Sun's own technology, which they then decided to buy out.
