It occurred to me the other day. Why can't we develop compilers
that use the Java object format, but use different source languages?
A C++ based language is quite powerful, but there would be benefits
in providing a 'BASIC' related language. cf. the popularity of Visual
Basic programming.
Would there be any huge hurdles in providing this capability.
My initial thoughts would be all you would need is a language spec
that was object-oriented (could behave in a similar way to Java/C++),
and a compiler that turned this source into the compiled java classes.
