Personally, I care little about the exact language as long as it is relevant and optimal for writing the compiler. Since Java lacks low-level memory management capabilities, and the JVM obviously needs to deal with these issues, I would be somewhat hesitant to write the full JVM in Java myself.

I am uncertain at this point if the APR actually provides what needs to be provided.
