The article claims
- Recently, a number of languages have been built on top of java so that they can take advantage of it's portability and API libraries while providing an easier to use language.
Which I don't believe. In a few of the listed cases it might be true, but in most cases it is instead compilers that build upon JRE, which is actually not Java, but instead a virtual machine assembly code to which any language can compile. Java was the first programming language to compile to JRE, and JRE was designed for Java and the other way around, but strictly, since there are Java compilers (gcj) that compile to machine code, the connection of those added programming languages is to JRE, not to Java the programming language. rursus 16:04, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
