Definitely.

You would likely lose some speed, but that is really all.

Not a whole lot more than making a java compiler for anything else.
But it would still be the somewhat large undertaking of making a java
compiler. (Yes, this is a bit of a duck cause I don't know specifics)

Anyone given any thought to Parrot <-> Java integration?

Possible?
Practical?


How much would would be involved?

I'd looked at that and it's certainly interesting, but it's focused on
Perl 5, like Inline::Java.

I've CC David, and also Patrick LeBoutillier, author of Inline::Java.

Hi Dave. Any news on progress? (The last blog update was several weeks
ago and the code repository's isn't available yet.)

Hello Patrick. Would you be interested in working on Parrot <-> Java
integration?

Tim.

I have been looking at IKVM:

http://www.ikvm.net/

It's basically a full Java environment but using CLR instead of
JVM as the underlying runtime. The JIT conversion from Java
bytecode to CIL is very interesting. It's already reasonably
mature for serious applications.

Thanks,
