If we are going to entertain writing most of the JVM in a type-safe language, we should also consider the proposed ECMA C++/CLI. From what I understand, it standardizes a form of type-safe C++. It has the promise of keeping both the Java and C camps happy.
Not really. First, it is a Microsoft thing, tied in with .NET. Second, we don't want to have to depend on a .NET runtime to get a Java runtime. Third, never try to implement a large and complex existing project in a brand new technology.
