fact 1: CPython compiles source code to byte-code. fact 2: CPython executes this byte-code. fact 3: Sun's JDK compiles source code to byte-code. fact 4: Sun's JDK executes this byte-code. Care to prove me wrong on any of these points ? Don't bother: you can't. So my first assertion that "CPython is compiled to byte-code, which is then executed by a VM" is true, and since the same assertion also stands for Java (ie: sun's JDK), then the "just like" qualifier is true too.

I challenge you to come with any evidence to support this claim. I never wrote anything about CPython's byte-code interpreter inner working. > Your over-zealous Python advocacy is benefiting no one.
