Hardware Java Acceleration [www.theregister.co.uk]

It seems that the secret project called Azul being worked on by former Cobalt CEO Stephen DeWitt is a Java application server that is packed with Java acceleration hardware.

Sun, the charity fund who helped Stephen out with a few billion dollars for a bunch of perl scripts he had written, is working on it's own Java acceleration platform. It bought a start into the arena by buying Kealia from one of it's own former executives. Probably for a bit less than 2 billion.

The Register article asks why none is working on a .Net accelleration platform—with the implied expression that Java is more popular since it's getting so much attention.

My suggestion is that multiple vendors are working on accelerated Java servers is because it's SO FRIGGIN SLOW! Perhaps they could come up with a way to accellerate Java software development. Maybe they would call it Perl? Ever wished you had hardware acceleration for your Tcl code?

Sheesh!
