Because we were already there with multi-processing and OS IPC before mainstream OSes added multi-threading support, and while it is better for stability and security, there are additional hardware resources to account for. To use modern sp

It is quite relevant as computing systems. And yes, they also have apps besides games on their stores, and support external keyboards and mices.

Easy to figure out when looking back into history and past times where that was accepted even as means to sort out honour issues or bar fights.

Yes indeed, and that is why it got removed from the standard eventually, however the question remains how was this even voted in. Which is why I became kind of vocal regarding existing practice, or at least preview for community feedback, a

Lots of "improvements" on Dalvik over J2ME was Google's marketing to sidestep Sun, speaking as ex-Nokia, coupled with the experience of Java on Symbian devices and Sony Ericson. All these years afterwards it quite clear that

At least it had the FCB, some interrupts and COM executable format from CP/M. :)

Kind of, because while MS-DOS was compatible between PCs, CP/M depended pretty much on what 8 bit machine you had, and like UNIX required compilation from source for proper compatibility. FTL Modula-2 for example, had several low level

Is it? My experience from 2014 - 2018, was that C# was only used in the lifesciences software for Windows, and as wrappers around device drivers mostly written in COM. Everything that was done on the backend side was done in Java, although

Which is why there are so many complaints about doing FOSS in .NET, as many companies won't use anything that isn't blessed by Microsoft, and there is an history of Microsoft cloning FOSS projects.

It surely does, because in most companies that care about security it isn't a mirror, rather the only third party packages that developers are allowed to use beyond the standard library. Additionally, making new packages available for
