Keywords: design, portable

Within ten days we've heard that Java bytecodes are so much like
modern machines that it's easy to generate machine code on the fly,
and so much like the source code that source-level analyses are easy.
My cursory look at the JVM spec reminded me an awful lot of Smalltalk,
so I'm not ready to swallow either claim, but I would love to be
convinced.
