THis is cool, the gent in the article created a JVM(ish) for arduino. Java is a nice language to write in. Not sure how long it will live thought since Sun was bought out by Oracle, and with HTML5 having alot of functionality in it….Java may go the way of C/C++ where its only used in certain applications and tools (and yes I know Android uses a Javaish setup, but word on the street is HTML5 is the way to go)
