GraalVM has multiple language implementations that can now run on both GraalVM and OpenJDK.

They are typically as fast and sometimes faster than their standard counterparts (e.g. can't find the announcement now but mastodon runs much faster on GraalRuby than on JRuby, and JRuby is pretty fast). I have personal experience with GraalJS being very fast.

So I _think_ that you could now say that the JVM can now properly support multiple languages. There are still limitations, mostly related to language libraries that have native bindings so it's not all flowers and chocolates. But still worth considering. But as a general purpose multi-language platform I think you could say it's viable now.

But I share the scepticism - is this really the point of WASM? Whether it is or not, it does seem to be the general direction
