Hi,

This looks interesting:

http://www.xmlvm.org/overview/

"Overview

The goal of XMLVM is to offer a flexible and extensible cross-compiler  
toolchain. Instead of cross-compiling on a source code level, XMLVM  
cross-compiles byte code instructions from Sun Microsystem's virtual  
machine and Microsoft's Common Language Runtime. The benefit of this  
approach is that byte code instructions are easier to cross-compile  
and the difficult parsing of a high-level programming language is left  
to a regular compiler. In XMLVM, byte code-based programs are  
represented as XML documents. This allows manipulation and translation  
of XMLVM-based programs using advanced XML technologies such as XSLT,  
XQuery, and XPath."

Anybody played around with this? Opinions :)

best,
-Rob
