The technology described in this document is new - so new and
different, in fact, that some people call it "disruptive
technology." Yet, viewed in the context of the history of computing,
and the notion that "the network is the computer," Ace technology
is the obvious next step in the evolution of high level programming
languages for the network computer.
Ace is a research project in Sun Microsystems Laboratories, a small R&D
division at Sun Microsystems, Inc. The project has produced a network
programming model, along with an application programming language (with
several specialized sublanguages) and a compiler for it that can generate
and deploy a working application in a variety of architectures. As of this
writing, the technology is available for selective evaluation, but it is
not a product.
