Orto - A Java VM Implemented in Javascript

Meant to publish this earlier, but it’s just been sitting in a tab in my browser for a day now. Anyways, John Resig (hm, familiar domain name / real name combination there…) has a post about Orto from Japan, a compiler that transformers Java bytecode to JavaScript statements. The end result is Java applications that do not depend on Java, but can be run with just JavaScript available in a browser. Not quite sure what I’d want to use this for, but on a scale for awesome, this ranks pretty high! John’s page has screenshots and links to several more interesting sources about Orto and is well worth the read.

About me

I’m a PHP, Python and Java-developer currently located in Fredrikstad, Norway where I do consulting work and work as a technical lead for Derdubor A/S.

My interest include web application development (PHP since 1998), the demoscene (since 1997) and I have a weird fascination for interesting problems and digital maps.

Om meg

Jeg trives best med utviklingsprosjekter i PHP, Java eller Python, og befinner meg for øyeblikket i Fredrikstad, Norge, hvor jeg jobber som frilanskonsulent og som teknisk sjef i Derdubor A/S. Jeg skriver også spillomtaler for norges beste nettsted for spill.

Jeg har en merkelig fasinasjon for kart, utfordrende tekniske problemer, demoscenen og generell webutvikling.
