It can't, but we all know that the VM is attacked as a proxy for Java the language, so it could still be used by Google to further distance themselves from Sun/Oracle technology. > Maybe there will be suprises at the > conference, but they talked about a *language*, not a *brand new VM*. Given Lars Bak's background, it's most certainly going to involve a VM of some kind, perhaps a generalization of V8 (which optimistically maps JavaScript into OO concepts and further down to x86 code complete with a generational GC). What would be really nice to see, is some kind of merge between Dalvik and V8. I can't help wondering why we haven't seen much of V8 in the Android browser; could it perhaps be because there had to be considerate work done in the above regard?! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
