JavaScript runtime

As explained in .NET in Action, Second Edition

A runtime is the execution environment that loads and runs program code while providing language and system services.

A runtime executes code in a format it understands. In .NET, CoreCLR executes Common Intermediate Language (CIL), which .NET language compilers produce. JavaScript appears in this ecosystem through Jint, listed as a JavaScript interpreter project. section 1.1 section 1.1
