Well maybe it's because these existing things do completely different things and are completely inadequate?

>What about the JVM? too high level

>What about llvm IR and bitcode? no backwards compatibility

>What about .net/CLR? too high level

What the majority of people here do not comprehend is that if you look at each individual feature (low level, stable) each of them is nothing new. It's the combination of these existing features (low level and stable) that existing technologies are simply not capable of.

LLVM had almost two decades to stabilise their IR and yet they didn't so someone else has to step up and fix what they failed to do.
