You make something that's easy for an automatic translation. Then you use that. It's how both AS/400 and OpenVMS kept binary compatibility on completely different hardware over time. The good news is there's a lot of clones of Java in CompSci and compilers of other languages targeted to JRE. Retargeting them to something similar wouldn't be hard. Recompiling bytecodes wouldn't be hard. It's the high-level language and interfaces that would be hard. The real factor, though, is social given lock-in is in full effect here. Java was a bad, long-term bet given the Oracle acquisition. |
