(...) I'm curious too. I'd like to hear both points of view. Kyle, why did you wish you had used it sooner? I've avoided Java because, for Windows applications, I'm very happy with Delphi and, for robots, Java requires a ludicrously huge virtual (...) (18 years ago, 12-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Lejos is not a full JVM - it has no garbage collector, e.g., and the standard library is mostly absent. I doubt Sun would certify it as an implementation of the Java platform.

Hi Peter, (...) no, it can't be. (...) That is the top item on my list to add to Lejos, and on NXT it is possible :-) In Lejos we figured it would have eaten so much memory that there wouldn't have been much point in managing the rest.
