Using interpretive runtimes just to link languages, or just to achieve portability when source code portability runs pretty well thanks, seems wasteful to me.You think source code portability is good enough such that runtime portability isn't really needed?Anything beyond source code portability tempts the customer into use on a platform where the developer has not tested.
But it has been tested, because if it runs on that jvm it has been tested for that JVM. a JVM version x on linux is the same as a JVM version x on windows. That's the point. Now maybe they try running it with a version x - 5 JVM, well fine, it may not work, but the response would be: "duh".
