Except it's nothing like that, it's like an interpreter framework written in Python with a reference implementation that happens to be a Python interpreter. Write your interpreter in RPython, use the right decorators and boom you have a compiled interpreter with a free JIT (with speeds that beat C in some workloads, apparently).

Pretty cool. Pretty unlike Java I think.

Or JikesRVM for that matter, http://www.jikesrvm.org/
