> Yes, Java's design decisions make sense from the perspective of Java and Sun at the time, of course. I am not convinced.

Or you can use Scala and the compiler puts the rest in for you. Or you can just type in the byte code and have nothing do anything for you. A language is a way of expressing your intent. The difference between these expressions is pretty stark. The fact that an IDE can put in the boiler plate *is* the point.

I imagine there are some scientific computing applications that could really use the additional registers and 64-bit math ops, but would prefer not to take the cache hit implied by 64-bit pointers.

I agree that adding yet another ABI sounds crazy, but the benchmarks on the x32-abi page show cases where x32 can attain the performance of x64 (+30%) without the size penalty (+15%). That's compelling enough at least for small/embedded platforms, especially ones with tiny storage and that can afford to have everything...
