Time for more of my crazy talk.

No one thought highly of my idea of implementing a subset of
dot.NET/mono, and creating a Python interpreter that runs on it.

Here's another one: A hypervisor for ARM than runs on exactly one or
two CPUs (I'm thinking of my Sansa e280) and allows the creation of a
Rockbox HAL---Hardware Abstraction Layer. With the RHAL, Rockbox can be
standardized, one binary for any ARM-based machine, except for the
bootloader and a different hypervisor for each architecture.
