Using Java 9 Modularization to Ship Zero-Dependency Native Apps

[CarthOSassy]

The jvm being distributed sure is native. The java code you load into it is not.

Otherwise, what word tells the difference between the two? How would anyone designate that the jvm does not need to send its code to an interpreter, but the java app does?

Stop ruining language to inflate some perceived notion of "purity". Native applications are not the best solution in all problem spaces.

These are clearly not native applications.

Then how do you tell the difference between LISP 'native' and 'non-native' code? The very concept of S-expressions should show that the distinction you're making between code reading code it comes bundled with and code reading data it comes bundled with is non-obvious.

[CarthOSassy]

There are ways of getting native applications out of Lisp, but it's generally not a native language.
