I am realizing that a SummerCoat interpreter that can call into already native
code would require the creation of essentially proxy abstract classes and
proxy interfaces for when an interpreted class extends a native class. Which
in this case would be needed for every class because they extend `Object`.
It can be purely interpreted but that would be much slower and there would be
a huge loss and waste of space and memory for code that was already compiled
into a native code. Using reflection and creating classes at runtime is not
an issue at all for Java SE, just RatufaCoat will need that functionality of
sorts and otherwise for it to function properly. Of course the handling of these
would be different, but essentially it would be like proxy interfaces with an
invocation handler and such. This way I could minimize what is actually needed
in the proxy classes. But if this works out, it basically means that RatufaCoat
will be pretty fast and not much of it will be interpreted. It will kinda be
like the Palm OS emulator in OS 5 but a bit more complicated I suppose as it
can just do native code, whereas I have to basically build and inject a class
at run-time just to handle something. Of course for any instance of the
interpreter in SummerCoat, it will have just the current class path along with
the instance of the interpreter always existing as such.
