The future of this approach is Java 9 Truffle + Graal language compiler.
Already a substantial amount of work has gone into making Ruby, R, node and Python to work.
This is the Python implementation - https://github.com/securesystemslab/zippy

They have an example where this code is compiled:
def sumitup(n):
total = 0
for i in range(n):
total = total + i
return total
def sumitup(n):
if n < 0:
return 0
else:
return n*(n-1) // 2
That is, the assembly generated by clang seems to be equivalent to
if n <= 0:
return 0
else:
return ((n-1)*(n-2) >> 1) + (n-1)
