Harmony would have to excel on all of these before I would even
consider, say, recommending it for FC.
This is an important point. If the VM should be usable for a developer
it must support debugging. If it is to be a viable alternative to Suns
VM for a developer (i.e. me at work) then it eventually should also
support hot swap of code.
I think I saw that SableVM supported debugging recently. Is there any
OpenSource VM that supports hot swap?
