What Walter is wrong about is that bytecode is entirely pointless.

I'll bite. What is its advantage over source code?

It is not about bytecode vs source code. It is about a common platform-independent intermediate representation for multiple languages. JS is such a representation in the browsers and it is widely used. It it entirely pointless? I am not convinced it is.

Another example. Many of us here are talking in an intermediate language, which not English :) The concept of a common representation works pretty well here.
