    One must have both natively compiled languages (D) and interpreted
    languages (Java and Python). That's how I and I know a lot of others feel.

    Java is compiled, not interpreted. However Java does use a sort of virtual machine, which allows you to run compiled Java code on any platform.

    It is compiled but not to code that can run on a CPU (machine code) -
    unless you have a high-level architecture which is uncommon in consumer
    CPUs.

    The compiled code, Java's bytecode, runs in a virtual machine that
    interprets that code.

    Compare this to C where C does not generate bytecode but rather machine
    code for a specific platform and executes that (on the CPU).

    Wikipedia:

    Bytecode, also termed portable code or p-code, is a form of
    instruction set designed for efficient execution by a software interpreter.

    The HVM or Python runtime are the interpreters for this Bytecode.

    Python also compiles to bytecode; not machine code.

    Perhaps that's more transparent than it is with Java? Typically with Python, there is no specific 'compile' step as there is with Java - When I've worked with Java, the typical use is that you run the Python code directly with the Python interpreter.

    Hmmm... I'm wondering if this is becoming the norm now with langages. I know that .NET is similar, but it's called, "MSIL", not bytecode; and it's not a VM, but a CLR.

    I'd say it is transparent.

    I am aware it is not so with Java as one must invoke the compiler,
    javac, `javac hello.java` to generate the bytecode file in the form of a `.class` file and then this bytecode can be given to the VM/interpreter
    via `java hello` (which uses the `.class` file).

    In the end it is all a runtime. An interpreter. Something that runs the "bytecode" or whatever you want to call it.

    It makes sense to call it a VM some times as the JVM, uses bytecode
    which is an instruction set (not one that runs on CPUs as machine code,
    unless it is that Java CPU I talked about earlier, but that is out of
    this conversation) and therefore a machine can run the instructions
    coded in this instruction set hence the JVM.

    I just call it an interpreter or whatever.

    CLR is using CIL code which is Bytecode.
