What about LLVM? It seems able to deal with a fairly large number of languages with fairly different paradigms (including Rust :) )


That's similar to saying that x86 asm is able to deal with a large number of paradigms. LLVM IR might be a a viable target to avoid writing your own native code generators, but that does not a universal bytecode VM for dynamic languages make.

It sure would have been nice if Parrot had succeeded there...
