Johnny... you are still too low in the stack... JAVA may as well be
the new assembly (though I think its more like the COBOL of future IT,
in that we'll spend the next 50 years trying to get rid of it). I
don't think I've seen a developer "code" anything lower than Ruby or
Python in years...

I don't think Sunacle will let Java die. ;)

In all fairness, he did say "we'll spend the next 50 years trying to get rid of it".

I know someone that was trying to make an IRC bot in x86 ASM...

I'll probably do one in PDP-11 assembler, just to spite you. :-)

That would be impressive!

Can't see why. I have an irc client which I think is less than 100 lines of C. Since I already have TCP/IP on my RSX system, doing an IRC client inspired by that C thing would be a piece of cake. I'll sit down and fix that tomorrow.

Doing a bot as a next stop, once that is done, would be easy. You didn't ask that it would be any good, or do anything meaningful. :-)

                      It is definitely fun to watch people try to break in to
                      VMS. ;)


              On Sol.Stupi.Se <http://sol.stupi.se/> (59.10) they think it
              understands X.86 binaries..
              I'm sure tehey don't even understand the stackpointer moves UP not
              down on a DEC20/PDP10.


      You are giving them way too much credit, Peter. I'm sure most of
      them would not even know what a stack pointer is... The stack is a
      magic object that keeps information around in your Java virtual
      machine...
