John, Thanks for the site. Although the info on Shboom is dated (1996), I especially liked the following paragraph pertaining to the JVM: Sun Microelectronics has proposed a plan to build microprocessors that directly execute the Java instruction set. Brian Case points out that this plan has many drawbacks and should be scrapped. Java runs just fine on general-purpose processors using just-in-time compilation techniques, whereas a Java chip would be unable to execute non-Java code. Thus, the volume of Java chips is likely to be far smaller than that of general-purpose devices, and economies of scale will hamper the Java chips. A better approach would be to enhance a standard processor core with a few Java acceleration instructions. Ridiculuous shakeout today IMO. Looking forward to next week... Cap
