Re: Programming with Java?

What are the limitations?
Hmmm, interesting idea. I do quite a lot of Java programming as part of my phd project. The problem is you have to end up with a hex file that Microchip can understand. You definitely couldn't load up a java program directly, since it is interpreted. Just not something the RC can do. C++ might work, but probably not. I will look into it, but I just don't think there is an easy way to do it.
