Ask HN: Why are there no traditional language compilers that target the JVM?
Or maybe there are, and my Google-fu is weak.
"Traditional" compilable languages, like C, C++, FORTRAN, etc all ought to be targetable to a portable runtime like the JVM (since it defines its own instruction set (Java byte code)).
Scala and other languages target the JVM as their runtime environment.

Why not older/traditionally-compiled languages?
