Hi,
See how today we have many high-quality network servers, database drivers, IDEs, compilers, interpreters and other kinds of system-level software written in Java. If Java has proven to be more productive for these software, why not for the VM itself? There's no reason we should still be dealing with zero-bytes at the end of strings and size of buffers at every string copy.

I would like advocate the use of Java in implementing the VM (*). This may seem a low-level issue, but I'm raising it now because it will have significant implications for the VM core and the overall approach this project takes.
Why? a) Software engineering benefits. b) Performance. c) "Eating your own dog food" is good for you.
