After reading more about Jikes "A JVM in Java" idea seems to be better for me then it used to be. I am just anxious about the performance. Whatever we do and how, we must create a fast JVM. Performance is everything if Harmony will be used more than educational needs.
I think that we should go the Java way.. and I really hope that JikesRVM will be our starting point!
"Faster" is a magic word.
As Mark Brooks says about implement the JVM in Java; "Eating our own dog food" has the benefit of forcing us to deal with optimization issues that we might otherwise sweep under the carpet.
But I guess the language will just depend on who donates a JVM.
It can be Jikes, but we shall test it`s performance...
