There are more and more programming languages (Scala, Clojure,...) coming out that are made for the Java VM and are therefore compatible with the Java Byte-Code.
I'm beginning to ask myself: Why the Java VM?
What makes it so powerful or popular that there are new programming languages, which seem gaining popularity too, created for it?
Why don't they write a new VM for a new language?
