A DLL can either be native code or not.   Microsoft's or Mono compilers
will generate virtual machine code and this object code is organized
into a DLL, typically.  It's even downloadable by http.  Alternatively
you can put native code into a browser plugin.

So, to complete the story, is Swarm's DLL native code or not?  If not,
then your statement that Swarm runs inside the jvm is simply not true.
Yes, it depends on the definition of "inside". To be precise, Swarm is not compiled to java bytecode. However, it is true that it works like Java language constructs. I thought your original remark was about doing RPC over XML via http, which could be done very well with Swarm.
