Note: It has to be debugged in duplicate, for each release. However, by far the bigger portability problems involve codebases that include UI support. Network daemons and middleware pose fewer problems in that area, inherently. > But I think Java gets the farthest in lip service to binary > portability. :P Python scripts give it more than a run for its money, although they're not "binary". I used to find it confusing that Java proponents considered it an _advantage_ to be able to hand out only bytecode, and considered this somehow to make it inherently superior to Python, Java, and Ruby. But then, I remembered that practically all of them are proprietary software people, such that obscuring source code isn't just a side-effect of compilation, but actually a business objective. -- Cheers, Ceterum censeo, Caldera delenda est.
