No, there isn't always a need for a VM: Smalltalk's been demoed
running directly on a Mitsubishi chip, and you could always program an
FGPA or similar as your _machine_.

Right, but we were talking about the�Raspberry.

And as I mentioned, the Stack VM already runs on the Raspberry, so
assumed that Phil wanted something _more_ than that, and that's
running the image directly on hardware (or similar, like SqueakNOS).


SqueakNOS doesn�t discard the vm, the image runs on a vm, what it discards is the operating system.
