I suggest it's the other way around.
One could write a Transcript interpreter and IDE to duplicate that of Revolution in Java or Smalltalk, e.g., but it would be all but impossible to write a Java compiler or interpreter and IDE in Transcript.
But that's moot. Nobody's going to do either. Java is good for some things for which Rev is not suited (mostly apps requiring lots of interaction with system-level resources and multi-programmer projects) and Rev is good for some things for which Java is either overkill or cumbersome (almost everything else...LOL).
