New Intermediate Language Proposed

Posted by michael on from the real-men-write-in-assembly dept.

WillOutPower writes "Sun is inviting Cray (of supercomputer fame) and IBM (needs no introduction...) to join and create a new intermediate run-time language for high-performance computing. Java's bytecode, Java Grande, and Microsoft's IL language for the Common Language Runtime, it seems a natural progression. I wonder if the format will be in XML? Does this mean ubiquitous grid computing? Maybe now I won't have to write my neural network in C for performance :-)"

    Odd. I wouldn't have thought you'd need to do that these days anyway.

    If you think java scales and performs well, then you do not deal with the scale and performance requirements that I do. Congratulations. I understand I am really in the minority, but just because something works for someone, doesn't mean it works for everyone.
