ok.
A vm devoted to java would surely be the best way to go, but given the
fact that all free jvm implementations, like japhar and kaffe, are in
hibernation mode right now, I felt, that working with pnet as a base vm
could be interesting.
What I could imagine is, having generic modules, like Rhys is trying
with the jit engine, I think, that can be used both for a JAVA runtime
and a CLR.
for instance
a GC module
a JIT module
....
so that we can reuse as much as possible, and that both sides could
benefit from improvments.
(As I know too little about the CLR - so I don't know how complicated
this sharing really is).
