In the end it is all a runtime. An interpreter. Something that runs the
"bytecode" or whatever you want to call it.
It makes sense to call it a VM some times as the JVM, uses bytecode
which is an instruction set (not one that runs on CPUs as machine code,
unless it is that Java CPU I talked about earlier, but that is out of
this conversation) and therefore a machine can run the instructions
coded in this instruction set hence the JVM.
