PoohBear, it's because Smalltalk, Oberon, and J2ME systems didn't need MMUs. People came up with MMUs because of low-level languages, a category which includes assembly and C. But we're just rehearsing debates that are half a century old. (On the other hand, the B5000 had hardware memory protection despite being programmed in Algol. The B5000 inspired Smalltalk, which inspired Oberon and Java. But its memory protection didn't use an MMU.) |
