I'm starting to wrap up the implementation of the optimizing JIT compiler framework for the Objeck VM. Once the new framework stabilizes I'll be forking the VM (on Google Code) and working on a stack based assembler front-end. It's been fun watching the project mature and speaking with folks who've leverage the codebase. The final phase of development will be breaking the language into releasable Open Source components in the hopes that others will extend and maintain them.
