This reminded me of Nodyn[1], a Node-compatible JVM implementation, which it appears is no longer actively developed.

No, Nodyn tried to be fully compatible with NodeJs. PurpleJS is just an alternative - the scope is not to be fully compatible. Also Nodyn has it's own implementation of Javascript. PurpleJS uses Nashorn as the Javascript engine.
