How is this possible? Time travel?
was wondering the same :D
It wasn't the case, but it could have been possible as the
starting point for HotSpot VM was developed for other languages
than Java.
If you look at the first point:
"HotSpot started as a Self VM ported to Java"
Self is 28 years old and had eventually a VM based on a
Strongtalk VM by another company that begun development 21 years
ago. Sun bought it 18 years ago and released HotSpot 16 years ago.

(Lars Bak worked on Strongtalk VM, HotSpot, V8 and Dart VM… so
they are probably related designwise, one way or another.)
