Every programming language runs within its own runtime environment, a virtual space that manages execution, memory, and system interaction.
This page explores some of the most popular runtime environments and explains how each one structures and executes programs differently.
From the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to WebAssembly, we’ll take a closer look at their design philosophies, components, and performance characteristics.
Understanding how these runtimes operate is essential to grasp
how programming languages truly work under the hood.
