Just imagine if NeXT had been based on the Acorn Archimedes platform, instead of M68k. There would be no Java on Android, for sure.

- pjmlp 2y agoAs someone that knows Java since it exists, I fail to see the connection. Additionally, as someone that ported a visualisation framework from NeXTSTEP to Windows, the Acorn would never be able to run NeXTSTEP. NeXTSTEP was ridiculously expensive for a reason, in terms of hardware capabilities for the time.
- chasil 2y agoWow, that's expensive. There is no way that Steve Jobs could have talked Furber & Wilson into this. http://www.shawcomputing.net/resources/next/hardware/ns31_compatibility/nextstep_compatibility.html http://www.shawcomputing.net/resources/next/hardware/ns31_co...
