Everything old is new again, and the Wheel of Time turns, and ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legends fade to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the third age by some, an Age yet to come, an age long past, a virtual machine specification was created in an attempt to achieve the goal of write-once, run everywhere code. The specification was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings or endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning.

Just like CPUs.

In the beginning Assembly became bytecode and CPUs included interpreters via microcode, then everything was supposed to be executed directly by hardware gates, now Assembly has become another form of bytecode and all major CPUs have reverted back to microcode.

Same applies to GPUs.

Everything old is new again, indeed.

Thanks for bringing some poetry to tech land :)
