I don't see why it wouldn't be possible. After all, there are Java,
JavaScript and OCaml implementations of that VM, so it could probably
be implemented with any "normal" programming language (exclude those
that are not Turing complete and exclude those such as brainfuck or
sed) ! But I don't quite see how it could help gaining performance, at
least not yet.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing a new esoteric implementation of
that nice VM ! :-)
