Interview with BitTorrent creator

Tuesday, May 10th, 2005

brokencomputer writes “There is an interesting interview with Bram Cohen, the creator of BitTorrent, on my site, WrongPlanet.net.
Because there is already a plethora of information about BitTorrent, this interview takes a different approach and focuses entirely on Cohen’s Asperger’s Syndrome. In addition to being interesting to anyone interested in BitTorrent, Cohen’s story is extremely inspirational to those of us who do have Asperger’s, and will probably be so even to those without Asperger’s Syndrome.”

Tuesday, May 10th, 2005

Motivation: There is a clear need for an open-source version of Java 2, Standard Edition (J2SE) runtime platform, and there are many ongoing efforts to produce solutions (Kaffe, Classpath, etc). There are also efforts that provide alternative approaches to execution of Java bytecode (GCJ and IKVM). All of these efforts provide a diversity of solutions, which is healthy, but barriers exist which prevent these efforts from reaching a greater potential.
