Well, why not just make yet another one for one of those more useful languages, but not fall under the same trap of spending too much time on the parser?

Because then you're increasing the cognitive overhead for the reader and the time commitment overhead for the writer.

But yeah, if the author wanted to make a part 3 it might be interesting to see his implementation for something like (a simplified subset of) Java bytecode.
