We appreciate your work, Toomas! What I find strange is that "public" reactions (like The Register) all mention lack of hardware. There is a lot of hardware available, and hosting has been offered as well. IMHO it's not hardware, it's people. I would be interested in a description of the compiler problem that needs to be fixed to move SPARC forward, preferably in layman's terms. :-) Or is it a number of unrelated issues? TBH I never paid much attention because I just assumed that my skillset isn't up to understanding the problem anyway, let alone fixing it. We are very close to having a self-hosted OpenIndiana for SPARC, and I would like to investigate how to leverage that.
