Java Virtual Machine

The GNU Interpreter for Java (GIJ) is a Java bytecode interpreter for the Java programming language.

So is GIJ an implementation of the Java Virtual Machine specification? And why does this statement have the constraint "for the Java programming language"? If GIJ interprets Java bytecode, it should run such bytecode derived from any programming language (e.g. Scala), not only Java. --Abdull (talk) 14:32, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There does not seem to be any reference to any restriction to the Java programming language according to the GCJ manual. I am correcting the article accordingly. --Joshua Issac (talk) 13:37, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
