JVM

Scala's primary platform is the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Scala code is compiled into Java bytecode, allowing it to run on any device with a JVM, independent of the underlying machine configuration. This setup ensures compatibility with Java libraries and tools, making Scala a versatile choice for developers familiar with the Java ecosystem. The JVM's backward compatibility ensures that Scala code compiled on older versions can run on newer JVMs without issues.
