So we have a Java Virtual Machine that runs a PicoLisp Virtual Machine which runs PicoLisp programs.

The circle of life?

Perhaps the next step would be to implement a Java Virtual Machine in PicoLisp.

Well, the JVM just starts the PicoLisp binary and runs a WebView pointing to it, so there's no actually implementing going on.
Ah, I see.

I didn't think it was possible to run native binaries on Android. Cool to see it happen :)

It's a little convoluted since the app does still fork from the zygote with ART in there, but they added an entire layer of APIs so you can jump right in from C++. Here's a sample https://github.com/android/ndk-samples/blob/master/native-ac...
