Experimental RTS/Space sim Collaborative Coding Project.
The goal is to design a game with structure/settings/balance of Starcraft and scale of Eve Online(i.e. huge space battles, space empires,etc).
Though this wouldn't stop anyone from contributing code/feedback/criticism, i'll be coordinating the project.
All code/ideas should be posted in this and subsequent threads which i'll start as needed.
step #1: We will collaboratively create a name for our project.
Each suggestion must explain why this name fits the project and why its better then any other generic name.

If the linker is the one that produces the executable then your definition is wrong by your own standards.
^Linker is final part of compilation; the compiler is either producing .exe files at the end or not producing them.
there is no third option. 
Your definition of runtime suggests that a program that links to DirectX is a runtime, and not the other way around.
DirectX is runtime integrated into OS, it interface at driver level. Does not compare with JVM. 
Your definition of virtual machine doesn't include virtual machines that run machine code.
These are called Emulators.
Your definition of JIT compiler excludes JIT compilers that generate machine code without generating a proper executable.
Its in the definition. I don't see how you can interpret it otherwise:
A program which runs scripts and temporary compiles them into memory

Oh, it's night-time. I was having... a daymare.
