Oolong and Kawa

[Maurice LING]

Hi all,

I'm looking for an intermediate language for compiling X programming
languages (other scripting languages like php, perl, ruby etc etc) to
run on JVM. For this purpose, is Oolong (as described by Joshua Engel)
or Kawa recommended?

Thanks
Maurice

JVM byitself takes an intermediate language ( which is called the
bytecode ) to run. So you ought to have a compiler that takes in X and
spits out bytecodes that you can run on the JVM.

Yes I agree but it is usually too tough to compile any other language to
java bytecodes directly. Hence I'm evaluating Oolong and Kawa. So my
scheme will be

X --> Oolong or Kawa --> java bytecode

Thanks
