Ahh, the next step in the idea of "Write Once, Run Anywhere". But remember, each 'layer' of compiling adds it's layer of bloat. Is it any wonder that programs are getting bigger, and bigger, and bigger? And, with that comes higher demands on the hardware. Now, I'm not advocating that we all go back to programming in assembly language (for specific processors/OSs). I just wonder where the concept of 'lean programming' went?
