I read in InfoQ: "Ja.NET is a port of Java 1.5 SE to the .NET platform. The compiler is based on the Eclipse JDT, which has been modified to generate IL as well as Java Byte Code. Java traditionally compiles each class into a separate file, but this creates an unacceptable overhead for .NET. To address this, a tool based on Cecil is used to create larger assemblies much in the same way Jar files are created for Java."

Why not implementing a C# compiler that generates bytecodes instead of IL or a CLR implemented in Java instead of the inverse?
Though the idea seems to be amazing and very interesting, I think it shows where the balance is getting biased...
