interpretation

I am toying around with the idea of building an online C# interpreter, a bit like Codepad . Now there are obvious security issues: Infinite loops System.Diagnostics.Process.Start Pretty much the whole System.IO namespace My knowledge of C# isn't exactly insignificant, but I'm sure there are a lot that know much more about it, plus the stuff I didn't think about. What would you be careful about? A few precisions, I plan on running this on a small Linux VPS using Mono. Use Mono's Compiler as service capability. It can be compiled to a Silverlight compatible DLL (client profile), and has been

In the past I have used C++ as a programming language. I know that the code written in C++ goes through a compilation process until it becomes object code "machine code". I would like to know how Java works in that respect. How is the user written Java code run by the computer? Java implementations typically use a two-step compilation process. Java source code is compiled down to bytecode by the Java compiler. The bytecode is executed by a Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Modern JVMs use a technique called Just-in-Time (JIT) compilation to compile the bytecode to native instructions understood by
