Let's try jvm-pico

Basically J2ME/PhoneMe is dead, like J2EE, but worst. Just sharing, because I am a strong supporter of Java...

Yesterday I found a J2ME vm which can run on Raspberry Pi Pico (a very small microcontroller). This guy name Oren Sokoler, I think just he himself alone ported the PhoneMe to Pico, name pico-jvm (https://github.com/orenskl/pico-jvm), not completed, but seems like hello world is working. Not working for production yet, good for research.

Sun microsystem open source Java before Sun acquired by Oracle, that is a right move, or else Java could be half dead now. There are many Java VM/JDK by other companies including Microsoft and Amazon, I believe all based on the OpenJDK from Sun.

Sun open source their OS Solaris as well, but not so pupular as Linux. Is not easy to write an OS kernel or VM as an open source project. A good example is GNU Hurd kenel, everything is ready just without a working kernel.

Another example is ELKS (Linux on 16 bits 8086), even though is still on going, but not ready for production yet. It doesn't attract enoutgh developers to join as compare to Linux.

I just hope pico-jvm can be continued until becomes a beta product or even further.
