JAVA! Isn’t effort saved spent elsewhere?
OK. So, JAVA is said to be platform independent since it generates Bytecode on compilation. There is a JVM for each platform which avoids the need for having a JAVA compiler for each platform. Does that not indicate that the effort saved in writing  Java compilers  for each  platform was spent in writing JVMs  for each  platform?
