The Nice programming language

The Nice programming language

Could this be THE hot new concept in programming languages ? The Nice programming language is a totally new, independant language. However, and this is the cool part, it gets compiled into java bytecode. This means that anyone who has the JRE can execute a program written in Nice.

The idea is by no means new. In fact, it is similar to how many languages are all compiled into the same IL bytecode in the .Net environment. However, making it compatible with Java bytecode gives all the portability benefits that Java has to offer. Will this become a trend among new languages ? Create good language features, and become instantly portable by compiling into bytecode ?
