::'''Keep Separate''' — But this article needs to be refined and its category has to be determined. Is it related to virtual machines, interpreters, or process virtual machines?

:::'''Keep Separate''' The term '''Bytecode''' has been in use ever since its [[canonical]] example (or maybe even earlier) of a byte-code in the form of the [[p-code machine|p-code]] used by [[UCSD Pascal]], which was one of the [[IBM_PC#OS_support|contenders]] for an operating system for the upcoming [[IBM PC]]. So at the very least the term has historical significance. [[User:Mahjongg|Mahjongg]] ([[User talk:Mahjongg|talk]]) 17:52, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 
== List of examples ==
 
It seems to me like the list of examples will grow indefinitely, as most interpreters use bytecode as an intermediate representation for interpretation, including many of those which can also optionally produce native code or compile to another language (i.e. to C or LLVM). I can myself immediately think of various examples which are missing from the list, but am not sure it would be wise to add them...
