The original version is written in Java, which sorta invented "run-it-everywhere"

Meh, I personally prefer "complie-it-everywhere" since you gain all the speed benefits of running it native.

Well, to be fair, with Java you are compiling bytecode everywhere before and while you run. So, you're not wrong.
