This statement from the paper is of course wrong on many levels. Truffle runs on any JVM and also standalone in a native library via @graalvm.org native image without even a Java runtime present.

Sorry for the mistake: I wrote the sentence since the 2013 Truffle paper says the JIT can only run on Graal, and without the JIT there is probably not much reason to use Truffle over the stock interpreter. I apparently forgot that Graal now can compile to a native image. I'll to remove this line.
