I meant the inside of a VM (its implementation), which is coded in C/RPython. Java's VM is coded in C++, but I don't think C++ is used for any regular library functions, while C is used heavily for Python's stdlib.

Not all JVMs are implemented in C++. It is a specification with multiple implementations, some of them are even bootstrapped in Java.
