I'm talking about where the code is run. If it's run on a VM it's run on a VM. If it's run on the cpu by JIT-ed code it's not running on a VM. Edit: But fair I did say "language with a VM" which would include Java JIT-ed or not. Edit, edit: Modified the original comment to say "code on a VM" not "language with a VM".
