Below, is a quote from an interesting article about the the new IBM/Sony/Toshiba Cell chip... and what the author thinks the effects will be on consumer electronics and computing.
Cell V's Java I explained the differences in part 2 but I thought of this afterwards (of course): What would happen if you were to combine them? The result would be a application which would work on (almost) every Platform / OS and take full advantage of the Cells. Going further, this could lead to applications in which the GUI and logic is written in a scripting language and the heavy processing in a more complex language. Such applications will be quick and easy to develop and automatically cross platform. The bit about "GUI and logic is written in a scripting language" jumped out at me... The GUI could be the Browser with A/V plugins (Flash, QuckTime, WMP, etc). The scripting language could be JavaScript and CFML.
