- I am sure, that there is someone out there just a'studying away looking
- into something like that (don't know what makes hackers so perverse.) But
- it really wouldn't help much. The way to do it is to make a JIT compiler
- for C or C++ that had it's own virtual machine and windowing toolkit.
-
- Or we can just sit back and let the Component wars get to the WWW where we
- will be able to write distributed components in any damn language we want
- and let the network deal with it. It will still be a bit more work than
- JAVA is, but eventually we will have a well refined windowing standard
- (that does not contain the letter X in it.) And life will be good.
