 GenCLI targets the `Common Language Infrastructure`_, the most famous
 implementations of which are Microsoft's `.NET`_ and Mono_.

 It is probably the most advanced of the object oriented backends -- it can
 compile our two standard benchmarks, RPyStone (CPython's PyStone benchmark
 modified slightly to be RPython) and a RPython version of the common Richards
 benchmark.

+GenJVM
+++++++
+
+GenJVM targets the Java Virtual Machine: it translates RPython
+programs directly into Java bytecode, similarly to what GenCLI does.
+
+So far it is the second most mature high level backend after GenCLI:
+it still can't translate the full Standard Interpreter, but after the
+Leysin sprint we were able to compile and run the rpytstone and
+richards benchmarks.
+
+GenJVM is almost entirely the work of Niko Matsakis, who worked on it
+also as part of the Summer of PyPy program.
