I know. So I have ask, if there exist an JAVA-LIKE-VM in 64-bit, which
can
NOT run Java-programs, because I think, that in the future don't exist
no
longer Java. Imagen you have an 64-bit computer. And the most people in
the
world have an 64-bit machine, too. If you write programs in C/C++ the
Integer-, and Float-numbers are all longer. Only if you write in Java
there
exists the "old" small Integer- and Float-numbers.
Do you think, that you write then programs in Java ? No.
I think in the future Sun brings out a new VM, which is written for
64-bit
machines. I don't said, that it is usefull for now, to write anything
like this.
I have a Pentium, so my computer is "only" 32-bit, too. But I think for
the
future it is good to begin in this time a project which creates an
Java-like for
64-bit machines. And because the most people of now have an 32-computer,
I thaugt it is good to if there exists an project, which writes a
Java-like-
program, which is written for 64-bit machines, but which can run on
32-bit
machines, too. But on 32-bit machines there only emultes an 64-computer,
so
that you have on your 32-bit computer an 64-bit Virtual Machine.
