We need to stop the language requirements and stay with lower-level VM 
code. It makes it too hard to share experience. We seen scenerio happen 
too many times where people tout their favorite language, and everybody 
that doesn't agree "...is on drugs." People don't consider real-world 
problems are acceptable reasons why we need to bend development to help 
these needs...

...(mine simply being missing children and people accuse me of drugs 
because of related depression... enough of that hateraid!!! Hate saying 
it... sometimes need to remind us about disabilities despite the 
business door.)

Take the serious look at concepts. Business vs development, the market 
always wins one except that doesn't cover areas where money is life, and 
I bet my life I'm worth it, and expect each of you to say the same. We 
need forward-thinking, yet justifications can't contain such 
"requirements" unless they are already real. Technical writers need to 
learn that fact more. Being mixed between concepts that work and 
concepts that are desired is the main headache with many production 
systems (includes the marketers too).

That said, maybe you see why the design taken by current VW viewers and 
apply separation in them into programs that wrap around UNIXen more 
closely, like devices drivers, are the real way forward. You may not 
like this... it isn't that hard as you think. You just lose the M$ 
monolithic project...  and grow up like a tree... and let the fruit fall 
off. Some just hold onto the apple longer and hope it doesn't rot...

Android is a proof-of-concept and not just anti-iPhone.
