Is the idea of running code on virtual machines dead?
Found a couple of old books yesterday on the p-System and 
MINT.  

The possibility of taking my binary from machine to machine,
(with possibly different physical architectures), and having
it run without dinking, is an intriguing one.

Is any work going on in this area?  Or does performance pay
more than portability?

Thanks in advance,

Lou.
