Ahh.... that makes sense.

Someone told me a long time ago that Java solved that problem. It didn't? :)

Luckily for me, I want others to extend my code so it runs specific
devices. My concept is of an abstract data model that exposes the state and
control of a specific device when an instance tailored to the given device
is running on it. Hence, I can assume my software will run on anything
because making it run on another device is the problem of the person who
wants to extend my code to run on it.

The moral here is to offload your problems to someone else and they stop
being your problems. :)
