This is an actual linux virtual machine... Not a language runtime. It's too bad that "Virtual Machine" means so many things. Maybe someone has more info on this, but I understand that it was Java who first called their language runtime a "Virtual Machine". Partly motivated because they wanted to create an actual physical machine that ran Java (kind of like Lisp machines). Nowadays with type 1, type 2 hypervisors, and jails/containers/zones, and every programming language on the planet calling their runtime a VM, I'm not surprised that people are getting confused.
