Thank you for the high quality response. You are correct, though I think you are overstating the difficulty of installing the tool-chain. I did not consider this because I set GraalVM up such a long time ago that I kind of forgot it had extra steps for native-image and assumed it was like other JDKs with the exception of having native-image. This gives me two options, abandon compilation (I might do this) or try to rewrite the interpreter in assembly for whichever machine, and then perform the same trick of basically appending a copy of the interpreter to the assembly generated by the compiler.

The language is primarily for string manipulation, so I am inclined to just abandon compilation entirely. At that point the only dependency becomes a JDK thar can use Java 24.
