I think anyone who tries to do a different architecture will have to put forward huge R+D themselves for proper code generation. Likely in the form of an LLVM backend, webasm JIT, maybe JVM, as well as on chip hardware techniques that at least fill the same role as OO execution.

I can't think of any hardware architecture that focused on super efficient execution and let the instruction generation chips fall where they may. Maybe the Cell in the PS3. Every other successful chip has seemed to try to deal with whatever instructions it is given as best it can.
