Google Dart

[Rémi Forax]

In fact, there is already a frontend in Java:
http://code.google.com/p/dart/source/browse/#svn%2Fbranches%2Fbleeding_edge%2Fdart%2Fcompiler%2Fjava%2Fcom%2Fgoogle%2Fdart%2Fcompiler

It's used to compile to javascript but it can be adapted to generate 
bytecode at runtime.
So yes, it seems simple (or not that hard) to write a runtime using 
invokedynamic.

BTW, you can currently use Rhino for that.
