People seem to insist on calling virtual machine binaries "bytecode".
AFAIK, Sun and Java started this trend.
I believe the thinking was that the JVM binaries looked like a bunch of bytes.

This makes no sense to me since *any* file looks like a bunch of bytes right?
How can a hexdump *not* look like "a bunch of bytes".

Seems we really need a better name for "virtual machine code".
