The more I work with it the more I get the impression that JAVA might be a god
given gift but for the amiga.
It is far away from being complete, at the moment rather unsecure in some terms
and it is awfully slow.
JAVA is at the moment a small app only language, rather complex, of course, but
not finished yet. If you ever used the JDK on the Shapshifter with a 030 and 6
MB free Mac RAM, you´ll know what I mean. That´s what i´m expecting from the
amiga implementation, too, and thats not much.
Even on the SGI Indigo Impact i am using it runs rather slow and won´t change
much as it´s interpreted.
So we´ll have to wait for those announced pico machines which run the byte code
on hardware basis and hope someone won´t forget to put one in an amiga case as a
sub board.
That´s what I am expecting of JAVA.
Great concept, but still to wait for.
