Edit Question
Title
Body
I see here that there are a load of languages aside from Java that run on the JVM. I'm a bit confused about the whole concept of other languages running in the JVM. So: What is the advantage in having other languages for the JVM? What is required (in high level terms) to write a language/compiler for the JVM? How do you write/compile/run code in a language (other than Java) in the JVM? EDIT: There were 3 follow up questions (originally comments) that were answered in the accepted answer. They are reprinted here for legibility: How would an app written in, say, JPython, interact with a Java app? Also, Can that JPython application use any of the JDK functions/objects?? What if it was Jaskell code, would the fact that it is a functional language not make it incompatible with the JDK?
