RoboVM uses LLVM and quite a few People were using Scala with it.
As "the JVM" there are plenty to choose from.
Embedded vendors do have implementations that run with a few hundred KBs or 1-2 MB depending on the use case.
I would say it is just yet another implementation.
Personally I find healthy that languages have multiple implementations, specially since it clears the confusion between language and implementation.
