The fact that the Java reference implementation is a VM, doesn't tie

Why pick Java if not for JVM? It is mediocre language at most, very
limited and poor feature-wise, lacking expressive power even compared to
C++ (you can at least abuse templates in the latter). JVM, however, may
be the best VM environment implementation out there and that can be useful.
