  1. Self compilation by La+Gris · · Score: 0, Redundant

    gcc is able compile self. Does java compile itself?

    I guess, it does not. What's the point after all? Running russian headstock or nested machines may be more funny than usefull with actual computer technologies. It may come a day where complexity involved in computing will require layering abstraction at machine level. Having distributed and nested machines would allow massive mutualization of computing power wihile smoothing technology decay and waste while mainting constant evolution.

    Having the java source available to universites, students and research projects, may lead to grow new trends like this.
