I don't really think it's that important either, and I thought it was an interesting article that described some bytecodes people might not be familiar with, but you had started your article with "What is the most commonly used bytecode language in the world?" and I was responding to that question.

I suspect that it's JVM, due to it's ubiquity in phones, and thought it might be worth pointing out since most people don't know that they have a JVM subset running on their SIM card. We really do have miniature bytecode interpreters running everywhere; and vulnerabilities can lead to security issues that allow your SIM card itself to be rooted[1]
