Johnny... you are still too low in the stack... JAVA may as well be
the new assembly (though I think its more like the COBOL of future IT,
in that we'll spend the next 50 years trying to get rid of it). I
don't think I've seen a developer "code" anything lower than Ruby or
Python in years...
I don't think Sunacle will let Java die. ;)
In all fairness, he did say "we'll spend the next 50 years trying to get rid of
it".
I know someone that was trying to make an IRC bot in x86 ASM...
I'll probably do one in PDP-11 assembler, just to spite you. :-)
That would be impressive!
Can't see why. I have an irc client which I think is less than 100 lines of C. Since I
already have TCP/IP on my RSX system, doing an IRC client inspired by that C thing would
be a piece of cake. I'll sit down and fix that tomorrow.
Doing a bot as a next stop, once that is done, would be easy. You didn't ask that it
would be any good, or do anything meaningful. :-)

It is definitely fun to watch people try to break in to
VMS. ;)
On Sol.Stupi.Se <http://sol.stupi.se/> (59.10) they think it
understands X.86 binaries..
I'm sure tehey don't even understand the stackpointer moves UP not
down on a DEC20/PDP10.
You are giving them way too much credit, Peter. I'm sure most of
them would not even know what a stack pointer is... The stack is a
magic object that keeps information around in your Java virtual
machine...
