Announcements from California - Squawk!!!
Saturday Jan 26, 2008
The Java Mobile & Embedded Developer Days recently took place at Sun Santa Clara Campus Auditorium, California, USA on January 23-24, 2008. It has brought out another announcement.
The Squawk Virtual Machine is now Open Source. Roger Meike, who works at Sun Labs, and is also involved in Project SunSPOT has put up this blog entry with a few links.
What's Squawk?
Project Squawk is a Sun Labs initiative about taking Java to the mobile and embedded space.
As Zhiqi has rightly pointed out... have a look at this quote in the Squawk Project Page
"Squawk is an open source virtual machine for the Java language that examines better ways of building virtual machines. Most commercial virtual machines are written in low level languages such as C and assembler. We believe that virtual machines can be simplified by writing them in a higher level language, and further simplified by implementing the VM in the language that the VM is implementing."
... Can't deny, thats an interesting approach.
