You might have a little more fun if you used Pizza, the functional
Java superset, for your compiler instead of straight Java.
The world could use a good Limbo-to-JVM compiler. Limbo is a
nice, clean language with IPC primitives, designed by Dennis
Ritchie for Lucent's Inferno OS. It's a small language, not
too many tricks, has Unicode strings and needs garbage collection.
In other words, it's a lot like Java, but smaller and tighter.
