Not that that wouldn't be nifty, but also, how about a Java interpreter in REBOL/view-- REBOL can read the byte code of Java files as binary and do the necessary interpretation. You can implement the threads at the interpreter level. -jeff

Jeff, I will confess that I know very little about interpreters, but it seems to me that Java is _the_operating_system in this case. Java is now competing with .NET for the most popular VM. Regards, David --- [jeff--rebol--net] wrote:

REBOL/view-- REBOL can read the byte code of Java files as binary and do the necessary interpretation. You can implement the threads at the interpreter level. Nice, too, would be a JavaScript interpreter for Rebol/View. Which, with a HTML interpreter, could lead to a interesting web browsing experience. Rebol/WebExplorer! :-) Andrew Martin ICQ: 26227169 http://members.nbci.com/AndrewMartin/

I don't understand. You want to write web browser in Rebol? What about other standards? All those XML based ones? Oter plug-ins? I remember Carl stating /View is just complementary technology. Proper browser plug-in is the way .... but I am not sure of its success unless it is able to be part of a browser window. But anyway - there is many ideas :-) One other interesting is - AmigaDE (Tao) provides you with much smaller Java solution. Java code is translated into VP (virtual processor) one, and so you end-up with 2-5MB of app size, while JAVA distribution has some 10MB? If you imagine AmigaDE being able to run upon many platforms, isn't it a little bit chance for Rebol too? We currently have Rebol/Core available for Tao. The question is, if we can easily have /View ported too ... -pekr-

What interpreter? Don't we JIT? Volker
