Strictly speaking, this is not true - most JVM and CLR implementations are actually embeddable via a C (or C++) API, for example: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms404385.aspx http://www.mono-project.com/Embedding_Mono http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/guide/jni/spec/invocation.html http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.0.3/gcj/Invocation.html#Invocation There are other interoperability mechanisms available - e. G. CORBA, or on Windows, one could use COM.
