Why though?

  There are a few reasons: * It opens the possibility of having universal binaries regardless of the host operating system. That means running Nginx, Python, ffmpeg with just one binary (rather than one for each architecture) * It could mean an easier interaction between languages (similar to GraalVM is doing Truffle) - without any recompilation

    So, very simply put, it's like Java?

      Yes, but with potentially much better (wider) industry adoption and support.
