That would be possible but does such a JVM exist?

Currently the .NET CLR is used only when you decide to target .NET,
otherwise we still use our own byte code interpreter for executing the small
changes that are made while developing. That way we have a mixture of
machine code (compiled from our C generated code) and byte code that makes
the end result reasonably fast for a development version, and faster than
what the .NET CLR can provide.
