Don't be so sure.
I just got tasked with looking for a JVM to run on an 8051.
the smallest fotprint I have found is 19K.
and That does not make your blood run cold.
I also have to find a way to use SMALLTALK.
so on a chip that already has space issues lets add a resource hog.
I love being me.
PS: this is the first time I have worked with hardware or embedded chips.
