| May 26, 2014 at 10:01 | comment | added | Jörg W Mittag | Languages are never compiled or interpreted. Languages just are. Compilation and interpretation are traits of the compiler or interpreter (duh!) used to implement the language. The terms "compiled language" or "interpreted language" don't even make sense, they belong to different levels of abstraction. If Englisch were a typed language, "compiled language" would be a TypeError! Every language can be implemented by an interpreter, every language can be implemented by a compiler. It is even possible to automatically generate a compiler from an interpreter and vice versa. | |
