I assume all ordinary machine code can be expressed in C too. C
compilers can be good at optimizations, so the overall performance
could be still acceptable. And yes, it would be some sort of virtual
machine, but it's still C code. And a call to a framework/the OS is
just a C call again.
I remember there was some similar work on a Java-Bytecode-To-C
generator, making it possible/legal to run Java on an iPhone....
The whole point of the change to the SDK agreement is exactly to
forbid doing that sort of stuff.
