(...) Why? Full Java requires it but you're not trying to make a full Java implementation. Why can't all your data be statically allocated by the compiler (not allocated at run-time)? Sure, you'd have to tweak the language a little but so what? (...) (20 years ago, 17-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I was looking into Java as a small-robot programming language and examined a few implementations. I came to the conclusion that it simply wasn't suitable. Sure you can shoehorn a cut-down version into a small processor but you've had to (...) (20 years ago, 17-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)
