[Robert M. Muench] It is a very compact presentation of a program in a
platform independent way. The presentation is compiled to native code
while loading. Other then JAVA they don't use a byte-code but more a
tree structure and a compression algorithm. Make a search for 'slim
binaries' and 'oberon' and you will find some references.


I think the concept is very good and has a lot of potential. Some guys
have implemented a plug-in for Netscape called JUICE where you can
download slim-binaries like an applet but much faster than JAVA. The
runtime performance is a lot better too.
