- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoI agree in general, and while I think that is totally completely possible in languages and operating environments, I'm not so sure it is in hardware, at least not without sacrificing a lot of performance. People respected by people I trust, who have a lot more domain knowledge than I do, don't seem to think it is.
