I'll chime in too to say that x86 is only king of the desktop / laptop world -- many portable devices are ARM-based (and a lot of Windows apps run on ARM), and there are other architectures used for enterprise and HPC servers. Plus it's not clear to me that x86 will win, esp. in power-constrained arenas. (All those legacy instructions and the translation from x86 ops into reasonable microops eat power and area.) I've dealt with at least six different instruction sets in my HPC work and the JVM runs on at least five of them: instant portability! mfh --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
