Efficient hosted interpreters on the JVM

Abstract

Many guest languages are implemented using the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) as a host environment. There are two major implementation choices: custom compilers and so-called hosted interpreters. Custom compilers are complex to build but offer good performance. Hosted interpreters are comparatively simpler to implement but until now have suffered from poor performance.
