Then you'll just have one more language, targeted for another virtual
machine.
Presumably a very high-level virtual machine.  Programmed by someone

a lower-level language.  And when that high-level machine is too
high-level to produce the desired performance, then someone will have
to write a new component in a lower-level language.
