Would you have accepted a technology that, say, reduced processor heat
by 2 orders of magnitude (whatever) from, say, Stalin's soviet union
knowing what you know now about that mass murdering government?
I think the question at hand is not, or at least should not be, about
what is practical. The CLR (or .NET if you'd prefer) is pretty sweet
