Just a silly thought but now with the interlanguage backend, can you run
Gambit on the JVM?

As in, make the JS/Python/PHP/Ruby/etc. backend compile to JIT code or Java
code, and then run a full Gambit environment within the JVM, at least
enough for having "eval" and the typical runtime with IO?


This would be the only way to run Gambit code "natively" in Java as in
using Java's heap and garbage collection for object representation etc.
right?


Would there be any constraints with respect to multithreading?

Thanks
