It's the same as programs of the likes of VirtualBox when we download a Linux distro in ISO format and we run it on our Windows desktop without completing a full installation. This tool provides the operating system with the libraries and components necessary so that any application written in this language can be used. One of the most popular ones is definitely Java 32-64 bits, as it allows us to migrate its developments to different platforms through a virtual machine known as JRE or Java Runtime Environment, the real-time execution environment of this coding language. It's an advantage regarding the development of software because it doesn't force the developer to compile the code each time it has to be ported to a different operating system. The latter can be run on different operating systems by means of a so-called virtual machine.
WORA coding languages (write once, run anywhere) are intended to simplify the execution of programs and applications developed using this code.
