Why the JVM? Why not run your own bytecode, or even use Redcode straight up?
edit: Perhaps I should explain. I dabbled in rec.games.corewars a few times, and what I found most rewarding was all the tricks you could play with the bytecode. I've never found the Java variants as fun, as one fun part of the game seems lost. I feel like I'm missing something.
