VM Enables 'Write-Once, Run Anywhere' Linux Apps
Yes, I saw that yesterday. It's just a small linux kernel that operates as a VM
to the host platform. The main difference compared to Tcl is that you need to
compile what you want to run.

I saw that. Thought it was a proposal from people who have never done
real cross-platform portability, since they'd end up with apps that
look and feel wrong just about everywhere except where they were
written. This is because different platforms tend to have quite
different expectations for how an application behaves (both in how it
interacts with the user, and with the operating system). It is a very
difficult problem.

I've read that it supports C/C++ apps, as well as Python and Perl
applications.
I wonder why use Lina's VM with Python/Perl when these can be run under
Windows/MacOS natively...?
Anyway, I don't think it will become popular. People (end-users) don't like
to install some additional VMs.

I don't know about Python, but Perl's integration with Windows is more
than a little hokey (Perl's an unashamedly POSIX app) so using a VM
might make some apps work better. On the other hand, using a VM is still
an incredibly heavyweight solution. And it's not about to make those
scripts work like Windows apps either.

in the stdlibs simply does not work as expected on windows) and its
nowhere near Tcls cross platform APIs. They might not surprise Unix
programmers on windows, but in general there are lots of stupid little
surprises (and really lousy documentation, leaving out most of the
interesting points or talking about implementation details instead of
defining the api).
It has great support for the native windows APIs with third party
modules, but the documentation is rather weak, mostly single sentence
docs and simple listings of the function names and arguments without
explanation or further reference (aka you know how to google msdn).
