Yep, they are languages that targets some other language's runtime. I feel that currently, it is the advent of these types of languages. Now, the title of this is a peek into the future, what that does mean.

Now, these languages are in early development so im sure things may change and the two concepts are not entirely the same, but the thing that i want to point here is that we started with low level langs that targets hardware instructions, to using VMs, as in like JVM/BEAM/V8, to this higher abstraction than a runtime VM. so my guess is ... ... ... ...
