You don't bundle gcc with gnome? Or guile? or TOM? or Perl? Or any
other language you can use?

You don't need to include a Virtual Machine or Compiler. What you need
for a "gnome compatible language" is the language specific glue code
(In the case of JAVA this woud be a native funktion interface I think
and a bunch of classes)
