Developing a programming language does not give you brownie points with a judge, and has no bearing on the matter.

What you are suggestying is copying the binary API instead of the texual one. It is equally the subject of copyright.

In the real world Google deleoped their own equivalent of the JVM, which uses different bytecode. This is technically more difficult than putting together a language. But that has no relevance to the subject of copyright.
