Would be interesting, but the virtual machine would run _extremely_ slow.
However, the part of the JVM instruction set that I have seen is very simple
(it's a stack machine), but AWT etc. would probably be a "no-no" because of
speed, complexity, etc.
But a JVM that interprets a subset of JAVA bytecode could be interesting.
Holger from REBOL Tech. once worked on a JVM implementation for the Amiga, so
perhaps he can tell us if such a project would be feasible. Holger?
Kind regards,
