Maybe someone could make Rhino[0] run in this, so we can run Javascript in Java in Javascript! Yo dawg!

Actually, the master version of Doppio can run Rhino AND Nashorn!

(I'm the primary author of Doppio.)

JavaPoly uses Doppio. As a result, you can run both Rhino and Nashorn in JavaPoly too!

Awesome, and can we run Doppio in Rhino run in Doppio then? Recursive Atwood's law!

Haha, I've actually tried to do this. The only missing link, I believe, is to add a Nashorn/Rhino backend to BrowserFS (Doppio's file system library) so that Doppio can access the filesystem that Rhino is running in to load the JDK.

If that sounds like fun, I take pull requests [0]. :)
