Yes you are right. Someone could argue Java Byte Code is interpreted, but I think colloquially, that's leading people to misunderstand the nature of modern JVMs, which as you say, will choose to either run the code in an interpreted manner, or compile it first (possibly with optimizations) dynamically at runtime. Those choices are made based on what will result in best performance and safety. Java on the other hand is 100% compiled (to bytecode). And byte code is machine code for a non existent machine. Actually, I think Sun had built machines that could natively execute Java Byte Code. Someone could build an interpreter for it, but I'm not aware of one. |
