Not so. Truffle is just a Java library like any other. You can therefore run Truffle languages on any JVM. However, they will run slow as they are just interpreters, then. To get the speedups you need to use Graal, which recognizes Truffle as a library and treats it specially.

Well, OK, sure, but Truffle without partial evaluation is just an interpreter written in a very particular way...

I see what you mean though, thanks!

That's what it was to start with. Partial evaluation came later.
