In fact, there is already a frontend in Java:
http://code.google.com/p/dart/source/browse/#svn%2Fbranches%2Fbleeding_edge%2Fdart%2Fcompiler%2Fjava%2Fcom%2Fgoogle%2Fdart%2Fcompiler
It's used to compile to javascript but it can be adapted to generate
bytecode at runtime.
So yes, it seems simple (or not that hard) to write a runtime using
invokedynamic.
BTW, you can currently use Rhino for that.

I suspect, much more than Go, this language could shake things up.
I also anoreason itshould not run very well on the jvm under invoke
dynamic semantics.
For the first time in a long time - a new language to get exciterd
about...
