Hotspot designer Bak was quoted as saying:<br>
<br>
<i>Bak worked on Sun's pioneering <a
href="http://research.sun.com/self/papers/papers.html">Self Project</a>
- which began life at Xerox and then continued at Stanford, and Beta, a
successor to Simula. He has 18 years experience developing virtual
machines. Any useful bit of advice stand out, we wondered?</i>
<p><i>"You have to make them simpler," he told us. "Which was not the
case with Self; it was a fairly big system."</i></p>
Not exactly a glowing testimony- but then again he is working on
embedded, small, systems, so I can kind of see his point; from that
angle.<br>
