I had not thought deeply about runtimes in relation to this question. It's certainly true that one reason I can hack around in Clojure and count on that code running on our production servers is that the JVM is ubiquitous there. Quite a different story than when I was doing some stuff in SBCL and had to compile it in my user space.
