What is the market for Plan9/Inferno like? What's the composition of the
user community?
I looked at some of the online docs a while ago and I thought the Dis VM
was timely considering the whole Java explosion. Too bad Sun hype was
better.
It seems that most of the VMs map relatively closely to Ada 95 constructs.
I wonder if this is related to the efforts during the design of Ada 95 to
efficiently implementable (with current technology of course) building
blocks, or if its something more mundane, like the fact that the VMs all
look like Java, which isn't too far from Ada?
It would be cool to have Ada on the JVM, .NET CLR, and running atop the
Inferno on their virtual machine too. Ada could be the Queen of the
Virtual Machine.
Sorry, no real information.
