There's nothing wrong with low level languages, and with the proper
libraries, they gain some of the advantages of high level languages.
Personally, it'll be a long time before I'm convinced that I want my
routers running Java.  (Like how I brought that almost back on topic
in the end, there?)

However, I would like to see Java or Other Language to run on the routers,
(I know you can install and play Quake on one vendor´s boxes) but I mean
to do things really belonging to the router but so far I have yet to see a vendor
to take programmable boxen (outside their own development) seriously.

Maybe it´s just too hard.
