Fun aside, I once wrote a JVM AOT [0]. Instead of compiling to low level code and building my own GC and runtime, I just transpiled to Go. And it worked, but the Go compiler couldn't handle it well[1] so I started trimming identifier names and shortcutting JRE libs to use Go versions. It became tedious so I gave up. I should revisit that project one day, heh.
