Sort of, though I am not particulary fond of Java (less now that I work 
with it full-time...).

I did look at the issues a little when I learned about gcj, and it 
seemed quite possible to integrate the gcj and Objective-C runtimes 
with only fairly minor tweaks.

Having worked extensively with Squeak and created the CocoaSqueak VM, 
integration with Smalltalk (or a simplified Objective-Smalltalk) also 
looks like a lovely option.

Anyway, I see that the integrated runtime job is no longer on offer... 
:-)

Cheers,
