I want to split this in to two topics:

I know that developers can create Kindlets using java. AFAIK, registration on http://kdk.amazon.com/ is required. I heard that Kindlets can be dangerous. For instance statics are NEVER freed, thread with infinity loop is never killed.

Is that true?

However... I guess, that programms can be created in another native languages(C/C++?). I know that console IRC client, Irssi can be lounched on Kindle. Irssi was writen in C... What about statics and neverending threads in this area?
