It takes a common instruction set as input, and converts it to these 
different platforms' native codes. Sound familiar? ;)

GNU Smalltalk (also by Paolo Bonzini) uses Lightning if you compile 
- --with-jit.

- From time to time, companies have said to us, "We would make an
improved version of this program if you allow us to release it without
freedom." We say, "No thanks--your improvements might be useful if
they were free, but if we can't use them in freedom, they are no good
at all." Then they appeal to our egos, saying that our code will have
"more users" inside their proprietary programs. We respond that we
value our community's freedom more than an irrelevant form of
popularity.
