If you liked that, Terra (http://terralang.org/) is also worth checking out.
They will be available for use in Java 9 without requiring any special JDK build.
Hidden behind an experimental command line flag and with caveats about performance since its intended for experimental JIT plugins, but yeah.

I think we will eventually end up with much of Java implemented in Java, and that will make for fantastic dynamic language support, but it's going to be a long road.
