Java and.NET compiles to bytecode. Not sure if you can compile Java to machine language as well. I would think there are compilers out there that can do that GCJ? Possibly the same could be achieved with.NET. Any both posesses a virtual machine - all pioneered originally by Xeror Smalltalk.
Also JVM and.NET are in fact enviroments where you can have other languages:
But I wouldn't recommend installing Eiffel for Visual Studio say. Last 3x I've tried it messed up my environment - and still never worked. Shame because I really like the Eiffel syntax a lot.
Isn't the whole point of C / C++ speed? I would think any interpreted (Tcl/Tk,Ruby,Perl) or vm-interpreted (SmallTalk, Java, C#) language would be slower.
As to the child mentioning Tcl/Tk if that is not even vm-interpreted How can it be fast?
Now if you wanna post a link about how Tcl/Tk can be compiled into bytecode - with some tool I am not aware. Then please go ahead.
I don't google but doodle specially when I am bored.

Don't mix bad American policies with the American population.
For I believe you must be a true hypocrite, the type that would get a boner if offered a green card. The type that worships Rock stars, Levi's Jeans and Nike trainers.
Bet you dream in having a your own Porsche, being invited to inner Hollywood party - bet you wank again and again over US blonde bimbos seen on satellite channels.
I sense envy in your trolling - not a shout for justice. You are the type that if given powers would do more harm than many Bushes and Saddams put together.
Is Linux really, truly, more secure that Windows? or does Linux have the same problems as similar M$ products but because of the lower market share, the problems don't get the same publicity?
It is... inheritably way more secure. Even Sun Microsystems (a competitor) acknowledges that. Most Unix-systems are..
Goes without saying even Microsoft uses Linux webservers (akamai) to fend off DOS attacks to their site.
If Linux surpasses Windows in market share, how long before the adware/spyware/malware/virus/pop-up writers start coding for Linux?
That will take a long time because Linux is not so easily exploitable. There is a bureacracy of permissions, policies and layer restrictions in Linux that makes the environment quite hostile for such exploits. That can also be offputting for the user.
Nothing is impossible but: 1. It would take extremely talented hackers to write such malwares. 2. Whatever exploit holes appear they should be closed almost immediately unlike what happens with Microsoft.
The commercialization not the popularization of Linux could make it less secure. Because people prefer to double-click executables rather than going through a whole series of procedures to install the application.
Best advice is to try a live-CD such as Knoppix or Slax for yourself.
Don't believe anything you read (pro or anti Linux) - but try and research for yourself.
Stop modding the parent down? Do you work for Kazaa or something?
Funny isn't it? If someone called Bill Gates stupid or even Stephen Jobs they might not be modded down.
Here I am saying something very true. Kazaa - a company that is notorious for infecting PCs with trojans and spywares and full of greed. How many of you didn't get your system fucked after installing Kazaa?
See Kazaa? You wanted to be selfish now take that idiots! I just hope you decay down further and further - you bunch of bullying spyware-endorsing thugs.
There is some justice in this world - your actions will come back to haunt you.
Can't wait when Valve gets their own comeuppance for the way they've been treating their own customers.
Dont you guys get it? Dont the companies get it? Call this supersition - but the collective disapproval of thousands does bring about bad-luck and misfortune. It's been scientifically proven. But noone wants to know.
If you piss off your customer base - you will pay.. somehow, somewhat.. eventually. See it in anyway you want - even sociologically - it's damn obvious.
If you please people - you will benefit from good auspices. It's all but a statistical phenomena; whatever way you choose... it's all about shifting the odds for-or-against you.
Why doesn't Microsoft collapse? Because they balance their nasty acts with very good deeds : charity,employee satisfaction,good customer service,acts of sporadic apparent "generosity".. with that they keep buying themselves more and more time.

Hey don't be upset some people find the smell of boiled potatoes pretty appetizing.
Chill man everyone is entitled to an opinion based on their experience, if someone said anything bad about London girls I'd most likely agree. They don't smell of boiled potatoes - they mostly stink of booze and fags!
If I found Polish babushkas scary - that was my experience - damn it.
What you need is a good Danish girl to put you right;) Mind you.. I wouldn't mind one too.

ah ok so its bytecode interpreted like visual basic.
still slower then machine code compiled apps.
- thanks for clarifying that one up.
"... it works, and one can develop x-platform apps with it besides using Java ... "
no-no.
try rephrasing that using the future tense with an auxiliary verb and a time marker.
then you might get a more accurate statement.

use xml/xslt in .net
forget webforms
and you will get what you want.

... directly from my google-toolbar.
I never ever seen such an ad on google.
and I am there typing all the time Linux

not even once have I seen anything like that in 2 years of searching for Linux help.
yeah right.
bravo!
This is the second time I spot a Linux advertisement on Microsoft's territory
.NET Code Magazine.
(Why Linux? Why Power? Why Together? - IBM)
First time I recall was an ad about Linux and OpenOffice Migration Books -
advertised on Microsoft's own
Surreal!

at least you aint gonna kiss me!
is she fit?
... i would kiss a Polish girl too - but they smell of boiled potatos - and scare the shit out of me :(
i seriously made a resolution to kiss a danish girl as part of my appreciation to the great people and country of yours.
