    obvious reasons

    There are a few blatantly obvious reasons why oracle would do this:
    • To advertise the jvm as a viable scripting virtual machine. All scripting engines have some sort of virtual machine, but the jvm is more advanced than most others (if not all).
    • JavaFX includes a complete webkit based web widget with javascript, so they need one. It's using the webkit one now afaik but obviously it would make much sense to use a single vm.
    • Add to the java "eco-system" with another tool for use by developers and integrators: e.g. as an extension language, or simply as another execution platform for alternative languages.

          Oracle presented a new project in recent names that is named Nashorn. The Nashorn Project comes down to a high-performance JavaScript run-time for OpenJDK and can be used so developers can embed JavaScript within Java code...

            Implementing C# in JVM? I do not think it's possible.

              Why not?

              Python, Ruby, Tcl, Lua and other languages are already implemented a top of JVM.
              I don't see why C# could not be implemented in JVM.
