On the technical side, it's structured with JVM implementation in mind.
So a possible evolution for this project is to fully include GNU classpath as pyjvm's standard library.
For more on this see the [GNU classpath vm integration page](https://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/docs/cp-vmintegration.html).
Another long-term solution is to convert the project to Jython
and use the reflection API of the underlying JVM to call standard library methods.
In a way, that would make the project [meta-circular](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta-circular_evaluator).

Tip: If you're having trouble building GNU classpath on your machine try passing the --disable-jni flag
to the ./configure program, which disables the compilation of native methods. They're prone to build problems
