Eclipse OMR is interesting, it provides good platform abstraction with support for threading, monitoring, etc.

Can you create new native languages using Eclipse OMR ?

When you say "native languages" you mean a statically compiled language?

It's been done before with the technology underlying the OMR compiler component, however there is some work that would need to be done to support this.

In principle though, there's no reason it couldn't be done.

Yes, I meant "statically typed" similar to swift.

I was thinking, OMR providing the native platform semantics that will enable multiple language syntaxes.
