Here's a naive question about JVM/AVM: Instead of creating a new AVM, is technically and politically feasible to extend the JVM "standard" to add the capabilities we'd like to see in an AVM? Then, if I target code to this JVM/AVM, I need only have users fetch the latest version of the JVM. I'm worried that a separate AVM would go nowhere if it's just targeted at the Ada niche market. -- Terry Westley [log in to unmask]
