Perhaps a simpler way is to make a translator from Java bytecodes -> Pharo
(Sista) bytecodes. I believe that ikvm did something similar for .NET. The
hardest part of this would actually be on parsing the .class files.

Smaltallk/X provides that Smalltalk/Java code duality.

But I think if Pharo ever pursues that path the best thing would be to
make it run in a VM such as Truffle/GraalVM [1]. A longest path maybe,
but you'll be able to piggyback on an existing community of VM
developers, and be able to interact not only with Java but it other
languages as well.
