I just pointed out that there is a different interpretation of the sentence that makes it work. It's a little arrogant to assume that not only is your interpretation the "correct" one, but that it's the _only_ one. There is precedent for this too -- for instance, the ".NET runtime" is not only the JIT/AOT compiler for CIL, but also the libraries providing the .net api + standards/mechanisms for loading other libraries, etc. See also https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3900549/what-is-runtime https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3900549/what-is-runtime : > Runtime describes software/instructions that are executed while your program is running, especially those instructions that you did not write explicitly, but are necessary for the proper execution of your code. [...] Runtime code is specifically the code required to implement the features of the language itself.
