> Is there real hardware implementing Java bytecode?

There have been various hardware assists for Java bytecode, but nowadays
people use JIT compilers.  I think it's not reasonable to implement Java
entirely in hardware, since some of the bytecode operations are higher
level, like looking up class methods I guess.  I never used Java much
and am glad it is mostly gone ;).
