I was discussing with a friend yesterday, really, what's the difference
between a scripting language and a 'real' language? Is Java a 'real'
language? After all it does run on top of an interpreter (the JVM.) But
what's an interpreter anyway? Is the only 'real' language C++? Even C# is
questionable?

between a Ruby and a Java, but it's not about scripting versus real. It's
about something else…. and by the way, what happens when Ruby is run on
top of the JVM?
