I should have added "efficiently". There are many "equal" languages, but
high level languages tend to solve a smaller subset of all problems
efficiently. Generic languages, on the other hand, allow writing higher
level languages. Java is in unique position it is in the middle - it is
higher than C++ while still efficient enough for most tasks. Good
scripting languages can use Java primitive directly allowing for a full
interaction between high level and Java code. I use this feature all the
time with languages like Jython and Groovy.

A Java VM, compiler and/or interpreter can be written in Haskell, as much as a
Haskell compiler/interpreter can be written in Java. I don't really understand
the argument of why this is 'a feature of Java'.
