Not really. As an interesting aside, before Java
became widespread I heard
folks mention "P-code" as a generic term for what most folks mean when they
say "bytecode." Now we often just say "bytecode."
Wirth called his Pascal bytecode P-code and his Modula bytecode M-code. Why
did Gosling not call his bytecode "J-code"?
