Hi all,
Do you know, if there exists a project, which creates a
Java-like-program in 64-bit ?
The problem is the following:
Now there exists Suns Java (which is the original) and then there are
some projects
(Kaffe and Japhar/Classpath) which want to create something like Java.
But Kaffe and Japhar/Classpath are only run behind Japhar. Thats like
the projects Wine (the Windows-Emulator). There the Wine-team creates an
Wine,
which creates a version, which can run the Windows-programs, but
Micro$oft
bring-out a new version and so Wine run behind the original again and
again.
With Kaffe and Japhar/Classpath its the same. Thats not so, that the
develop of the
original Java is stopped. Kaffe and Japhar/Classpath are only run behind
the original.
I think it is better to create a independent program, which can NOT run
Java-programs,
but which is Java-like -- in 64-bit. And on 32-bit-machines it emulate
an 64-bit
machine. Ok. So the programs run on 32-bit-machines very slow, but its
for
the future.
Look at Intel. They bring out his new CPU called "Iridium". And I think
in the future there
exists so much computers which run with 32-bit like computers with 16-
or 8-bit
existing today.
Then Sun bring out a new VM which runs on 64-bit machines and creates an
compiler/programming-language for it. And the free projects ? If they
don't begin
to create something like this today, they run behind it again.
So, exists a projects like this ?
