The Java programming language has been widely accepted as a general-purpose language for developing portable applications, toolkits, and applets. With so much activity in industry and academia in these user-level areas, is it surprising that Java is also an equally capable systems-programming language? This article describes our experiences at JavaSoft of using Java as a systems-level programming language during the development of JavaOS. I discuss our motivations for using Java and show code examples to demonstrate various system-level primitives, including an Ethernet device driver.
