It's more "Not by AWS", but yeah - that makes it non-free. Stallman would be rolling over in his grave, if he wasn't still alive to write an email about it in emacs.

It's a Java/.NET/JS-style VM target. So you can distribute your app with a single binary download, instead of different ones for different Operating Systems.

Done!

I'd fund it through VC investment. It's a market/mind share play aka hosting a community.

You could put it in a private repo on Github and have the contribution graph visible.

If you work for someone else you can advocate for this. If you employ coders you can use it as a talent attraction piece, or just do it because it's a good thing to do for them.
