If you said that the JVM is a program that executes Java programs translated into machine-independent bytecode, your statement would be correct but incomplete. The JVM does execute Java programs translated into bytecode, but it is not limited to handling translated Java programs. Increasingly, JVM implementations of dynamic languages are becoming available. These include JRuby, an implementation of the Ruby programming language; Jython, an implementation of the Python programming language; the Groovy scripting language; and Rhino, an implementation of JavaScript.
