I do not know about _all_ these languages. But there is a lot of 
implementations of different languages based on JVM:

How can you claim Java bytecode is not "powerful enough"?
It is just not true. 
Not that I promote Java here, just don't want people to be misinformed.

Also, in the statement there are few if any comments regarding
SOAP/GNOME perspective. Will SOAP eventually replace CORBA/IIOP?
