Even if there is no Java hardware, could not a Java OS be
run by a Java interpreter? Or is there a fundamental problem?
I've read that device drivers are hard to write in Java.

I suppose if the interpreter was implemented by hardware, it may work. I
thought I read something about Sun (or somebody else) doing this for small
devices.
ARM came out with Java instruction execution hardware assist which
they named Jazelle.

RFC: Writing Solaris Device Drivers in Java ... Since KVM and Xen/OpenVZ etc other virtual machines are beginning to pop up - I don't see why it inhibits the growth of using Java for device drivers development.... Contrast it against udev - esp in terms of usability/supportability/extensibility etc. udev is a Linux thing, whereas Java is at industry level. ... If everyone write applications device drivers using Java (minus the extreme hardware arch specific stuff, but supports all the low level protocol specific stuff like TCP/IP, NFS, USB etc) then I think it has potential to compete against C lang - the monopolizer till today in the kernel world. ...
