Most languages comes with a runtime. They just have to do some pattern matching looking for the runtime. Of course if you do things in secret with your own secret runtime and don't talk publicly about it, they may never find out. They may also enforce this selectively against things they don't want (such as Flash), but this adds a high level of uncertainty (as if there wasn't already enough).
The uncertainty and selective enforcement is a huge problem. This would dissuade any company from spending a lot of $$$ developing an app that didn't conform to the TOS. They wouldn't want to arbitrarily risk those $$$.
I think Apple may have overreached with this one.
