Can PyPy support intepreters for other languages beyond Python?

The toolsuite that translates the PyPy interpreter is quite general and can be used to create optimized versions of interpreters for any language, not just Python. Of course, these interpreters can make use of the same features that PyPy brings to Python: translation to various languages, stackless features, garbage collection, implementation of various things like arbitrarily long integers, etc. Currently, we have preliminary versions of a JavaScript interpreter (Leonardo Santagada as his Summer of PyPy project), a Prolog interpreter (Carl Friedrich Bolz as his Bachelor thesis), and a SmallTalk interpreter (produced during a sprint). All of them are unfinished at the moment.
