Implementing other languages for the Objeck VM?

This doesn't mean you need to abandon the Objeck language. Java is still the main language of the JVM. What do you think about it? I know you have tried your best, but it seems people are not interested in the Objeck language. It could be about the syntax, the standard library, or simply a lack of marketing. We both don't know why. IMO, the Objeck VM has very good performance. The idea of leveraging it to run other languages comes to mind very naturally. Perhaps doing so would gain you more users. You could start by implementing an existing language that is simple enough to implement. Maybe Lua, Wren, or even a BASIC dialect. What do you think about it?

LuaJIT is a JIT compiler for Lua. LuaJIT is currently the fastest Lua runtime. Imagine if there is an implementation of Lua that compiles to Objeck bytecode. I think it will be even faster than LuaJIT!

If you will ever do this, which language will you implement?
