RE: [Emerson-general] I/O

[Lucas M. <luc...@ro...>]

We were planning to have an abstract streams output concept that allows
things like 3d graphics to be outputted through it. I don't see why this
cant just be an api that you can call like any other. Adding extra opcodes
just increases complexity. Also, I think you are overestimating the
importance of being able to write drivers in the VM. The whole concept is
that its abstracted from hardware. I'm all for having native plug-ins for
the client program to allow support of extra I/O devices but they would
expose themselves to the VM in a high-level way.
