Doc: The reason you work for Transmeta is that you like ... Linus: ... The reason I work for Transmeta is that I think the approach is so studly from a technical view. We should have shown technical people real demos of all these tools that show: what's the original x86 code? What did we change it into? Half of what the software group has done is just these tools, for visualization, for figuring out what things we missed, so we can be better at not missing those things. That's just incredibly cool, whether it's mobile or not. Doc: Are these tools relatively public? Are they exposed at all? Linus: There is a debugger environment that is exposed, but we don't want to expose the internal stuff. You should think of it as a chip in itself. And there is a lot going on behind the curtains. Basically it's a lot of interesting technology that I don't think anybody has done before. A lot of people have done just in time compilers, and Digital used to do FX!32, which was translating x86 to Alpha. But nobody has done something in this kind of real environment. You didn't have real-time applications with real real-time guarantees, including the whole OS working. So that's what made me want to work with Transmeta in the first place. And then the fact that yes, I think mobile and wireless communications are good and I want more of that. For now it just makes me really happy to be able to say yes, we can do this. I don't have to be ashamed about what Transmeta does. They have all this cool technology.
