Re: Future of Native Apps?

No, it would likely make no sense as "native" code is the only thing the
processor understands. Historically programming is adding layers between the
processor and the developer but ultimately your code still have to reach the
processor under a suitable form ; you can generally "enter" at any level you
want ("debug.exe" is always part of XP)...
