> IBM mainframes language environments

Not just mainframes either, AS/400 (for minicomputer-class machines, as opposed to mainframes) is the same way. A binary, hardware-independent VM is the officially-supported programming environment.



Thanks for the correction. On my mind AS/400 keeps being a mainframe, I keep forgetting it had another hardware class.
