This may be a bit off-topic. If so, I apologize. But I do remember some people have expressed an interest in JVM based languages. This is a new one. It is freely licensed under the GPLv2 license. If of any importance (plus or minus), it is partially funded by the NSA. It is a "ployglot" language for Web site and Web app development, mainly.

The first major innovation in Wyvern is type-specific languages, a feature that allows programmers to create literals of a given type (e.g. a SQLQuery type) in a language appropriate to that type (e.g. SQL). We are currently working on the Wyvern object model and on providing architects with more architectural control. The ongoing implementation of Wyvern is available on GitHub.
