Why is the JVM not platform independent, given that Java (the language) is platform independent?

Issue

Just curious to know when java is made platform independent then are there any specific reasons JVM is made platform dependent..

Solution

Unless you have a CPU that can directly execute Java bytecode (there are such things) you need to be able to interact with the OS (for things like reading files, connecting to the network, displaying to the screen, etc...).

You can write a JVM in other languages (such as Java or JavaScript) but ultimately there needs to be something that can interact with the underlying OS.
