"Due to limitations in the underlying programming model, TornadoVM doesn’t support objects (except for trivial cases), recursion, dynamic memory allocation or exceptions." Given Objects are not supported, I am having a hard time seeing any valid use case for this over C,C++,Rust etc...

Simplified integration with some host environment? But now I am wondering what it would take to run "regular" code on a GPU -- even if it's super inefficient -- just to avoid the need of a "host" environment / CPU?

Don't evaluate a technology alone for what it allows today, rather where it might be tomorrow.

Just like the first versions of C, C++, Rust did not support GPGPU properly, they were rather small subsets, that have taken several years to achieve some of the GPGPU support. Even Rust wouldn't be that much, if it wasn't being built on top of LLVM.
