Project Semplice - Update Just to show you that we are still working hard on Project Semplice, here is quick status update.

Recently we got another sample application from the original VisualBasic 6 distribution working. The Optimize application is a little benchmark application demonstrating the execution speed of VisualBasic. So far there wasn't really anything you could compare the results against, but now we can run it with Project Semplice and compare it against the original. Lower numbers are better and, as you can see, the results are encouraging. The VB6 application is compiled (not interpreted!), everything else would be unfair, obviously, since the Project Semplice code is compiled by the Java Virtual Machine as well.

First, the original VB6 application screenshot:

And finally, the Project Semplice application screenshot (there is some more UI work needed in our libraries as can easily be seen):

When would this project be available? I heard that 2 of the 3 developer had left Sun... Is this project dead? We are very eager to run VB code in JVM for our software to run into different platform. Thanks.
