- Snippet from Wikipedia: List of JVM languages
This list of JVM Languages comprises notable computer programming languages that are used to produce computer software that runs on the Java virtual machine (JVM). Some of these languages are interpreted by a Java program, and some are compiled to Java bytecode and just-in-time (JIT) compiled during execution as regular Java programs to improve performance.
The JVM was initially designed to support only the language Java. However, over time, ever more languages were adapted or designed to run on the Java platform.
