BytecodePages

The interpreter is the program which renders the JavaByteCode binary files into machine (platform) specific code (native). Although the interpreter is a seamless part of the VM in most current implementations, it is the target for many optimization schemes.

In other interpreted languages (Perl, Python, Limbo, Lisp, etc) the human-readable source is directly interpreted nto machine code on each execution. Java's bytecode system is designed to prevent speed bottlenecks common to this approach.
