<P>Am I right? Once it runs, it is either being interpreted in Java, in which case you're running Java, or it is bytecode. The bytecode and the JVM are integral parts of Java. So even if the source code was not in "the Java language" (as we formally call it), it's not a NON-Java language either.</P> <P>OK, it's semantics... and syntax, of course.</P>
