Ask HN: Why are there no traditional language compilers that target the JVM?
There is the GraalVM Python Runtime, Renjin GCC-Bridge (for C, C++, R)...
I feel like all of this kind of exists but it's quite esoteric "non-standard stuff" and not necessarily something sane people want in production.

OpenJDK Proposes Project Galahad to Merge GraalVM Native Compilation
It'll help build cross-platform desktop applications. In theory, it'll mean hooking the build process up to a GitHub action to build platform-specific binaries, such as my FOSS KeenWrite Markdown editor[0], without having to have a copy of every operating system.
To my knowledge, cross-compiling "native" Linux and Windows binaries using Java requires duct tape, chewing gum, and warp-packer.[1]
GraalVM isn't a panacea, though.[2] For example, GraalVM cannot compile Renjin, a pure Java R interpreter, so you have to switch from Renjin to FastR. Switching isn't trivial.

How this sub treats Java ...
I just wanted to mention that C compilers exist for the JVM.
- Why it is that C++ can be compiled to JavaScript bytecode that is WebAssembly (using Emscripten), but it cannot be compiled to Java bytecode?
What are some alternatives?
