If your language is sufficiently Java compatible, then a textual
translation into Java may be easier to implement, and certainly is
much easier to debug, due to the readable output.


Otherwise JVM bytecode is equivalent to the machine code produced by
native compilers. The only advantage here is the simplicity of the VM,
that allows to exclude some optimizations that are suggested for other
machines (register allocation...).
