My example is “living off the land”, safari already has access to everything, open it and use it to communicate. Needs no permissions, bypasses little snitch entirely.
I believe you are correct, VGA even had character rom, where 'individual pixels' were not drawn by the CPU itself, the software presented an array of indexes into the rom and the vga hardware itself blitted the characters onto the screen.
I would dearly love this to happen. There are some corner cases that won't fit the translation layer well, for example almost any beam languages philosophy of let it crash..
I imagine those languages will be left by the wayside.
