Although the JVM was primarily aimed at running compiled Java programs, many other languages can now run on top of it. The JVM has currently no built-in support for dynamically typed languages: the existing JVM instruction set is statically typed, although the JVM can be used to implement interpreters for dynamic languages. Java 7 supports dynamically typed languages which started as Sun's "Da Vinci Machine" project

Famous quotes containing the word languages:
“Science and technology multiply around us. To an increasing extent they dictate the languages in which we speak and think. Either we use those languages, or we remain mute.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
