Perhaps I am misunderstanding what you just said. Are you actually suggesting running the .Net CLR (.Net's virtual machine) on top of a Java VM, thus giving us two nested virtual machines on top of the native OS?

Subject: Re: [libsecondlife-dev] LSO & CIL compiler
One thing to note, I didn't mention my perspective that would help explain my interest. A CLS, like Mono, usually implements a runtime environment directly on top of a native environment. Given that CIL is well defined, this direct implementation is not needed and can be divided again with a VM, so that the CIL executable is within a runtime environment directly on top of a VM instead of a native environment. This allows machine states to be stored, retrieved, distributed, and networked across like or different native environments. Current implementations of CLS (Mono and Microsoft alike) are limited in their microthread abilities due to native entanglements. The VM will solve that. It is expected this division will affect performance, where many CLS implementers have touted native speed, at the trade of such native speed in exchange for scalability and security.
I'm sure it is nice to program in C# on Visual Studio, but it doesn't work well for low-level manipulation the VM needs.
I don't expect to have an immediate contribution to libSL as for the LSL compiler, as libRL still has priorities.
Thanks for the interest to help improve SL.

Personally, I use C and my own VMs for most development. This is the most easiest.
Eclipse has excellent customer support ability. Items I've entered into the tracker have been implemented.

Indeed. C# = Java + common sense + ease of use.
