Do native Java APIs, when paired with special hardware work on such a solution? For example I think It would be cool to attach an Ethernet NIC to such a board and just use Java's HTTP libraries.

Another aspect is, the size of the binaries, as many of those prototyping devices are not limited by their processing speeds, but the flash size.

What about Kotlin support (I presume it works, since Kotlin is compatible with java).

It is doable, but I do not believe existing java libraries not written well enough to perform great and consume less space.

I do believe in separating code between the fast and slow path. My goal is to bring open source, well optimized common libraries to VM world.

Platform can handle a simple http server with a NIC as of today but with custom apis.

Kotlin and groovy works for hello world, did not tried further as I am thinking of bringing those languages by eliminating Java ties. I am aware of Kotlin native but 200K for a hello world is not reasonable. I can fit in 21K for VM.

If you have killer app idea for this platform I can make it happen in a very short period of time.
