Yeah, it seems like I read "of" instead of "for" in the original question ;-)
But replying to the real question, then: This would force REBOL Tech. to
rewrite the REBOL interpreter in JAVA, and I sincerely doubt that they have
resources (employees, time, etc.) for that.
Besides, do any platforms exist for which there is a JVM but no REBOL
interpreter? I cannot think of any (perhaps the forthcoming MAJC-based
systems, but I don't know the timeline for those), and if there aren't any
such platforms, nobody would gain anything from a JAVA implementation of
REBOL.
Just my thoughts...
Kind regards,
