List of JVM languages
This list of JVM Languages comprises notable computer programming languages that are used to produce 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 JIT-compiled during execution as regular Java programs to improve performance.
The JVM was initially designed to support only the Java programming language. However, as time passed, ever more languages were adapted or designed to run on the Java platform.
High-profile languages
Apart from the Java language itself, the most common or well-known JVM languages are:
- Clojure, a functional Lisp dialect
- Groovy, a programming and scripting language
- Scala, an object-oriented and functional programming language[1]
- JRuby, an implementation of Ruby
- Jython, an implementation of Python
- Renjin, an implementation of R
