Sure, but you don't have to do "all the complicated object stuff" if your problem doesn't need it. Java can do procedural programming perfectly well. Some of Java's ...

...last five years NVRAM sizes have not grown significantly. Thus while the original goal of having the Linux kernel in NVRAM can be done with 1MB, it doesn't work out so well if you also have to squeeze other stuff in there like the VSA which is (or at least was) needed for OLPC. If NVRAMs has grown to at least 2MB, and more specifically OLPC had a 2MB NVRAM, then we wouldn't be having this ...
