JamVM sounds very interesting. A fast lightweight interpreter has at least two attractions: a) portability (this is true regardless of the implementation language, the point is that an interpreter does not require a new compiler backend to be written for each architecture) b) compactness

Hi, For those of you who have not played with a JVM before and want to get a feel for how to implement them I would highly suggest you have a look at the JamVM codebase.This is a really nice codebase to read and it is relatively simple to understand - at least as far as JVMs go. Congrats
