 Interpreted language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer programming, an interpreted language is a programming language whose programs may be executed from source form, by an interpreter.
In the early days of computing, language design was heavily influenced by the decision to use compilation or interpretation as a mode of execution.
Any language may, in theory, be compiled or interpreted; therefore, this designation refers to languages' implementations rather than designs.

 Term of the Week: Interpreted Language
A disadvantage of interpreted languages is that the computer you will be running the program on needs to have not only the program on it to be run, but it also has to have the language interpreter.
With an interpreted language, the computer running the program has to analyze and interpret the code (through the interpreter) before it can be executed, resulting in slower processing performance.
Java is one of the best-known examples of this type of language.

 [No title]
The minor disadvantage of intermediate language is that it is sometimes somewhat harder to generate optimized machine code from intermediate language than directly from parse tree.
Since the number of commands required to accomplish a given task depends on the level of the virtual machine of the language, the performance of a interpreted language mainly depends on the level of the virtual machine defined for that language.
Unlike other languages, such as Java, where an interpreter is a separate executable even though the execution of the interpreter costs memory and CPU time concurrently with interpreting the bytecode.

 Yorick LG Issue 26
Yorick is an interpreted language for numerical analysis, developed at Livermore Labs by David H. Munro.
One might not expect an interpreted language to be suitable for numerical analysis -- and indeed this would be the case if arrays were not built into the language.
Since array operations are built into the language, functions applied to the array are automatically applied to all elements at once.

Seeing that benchmark, I thought it would be fun to see how "hard" compiled languages measure up against Smalltalk's dynamic translation and inline caching in implementing message sends, given that a jump is cheaper than vtable indirection, not to mention a dispatch function.

 An introduction to PostScript
PostScript is an interpreted language: when you create a page in QuarkXpress and print it, QuarkXPress creates a PostScript program that describes the content of your masterpiece and sends this to the output device you selected.
All the programs that you buy for your computer, like games, office apps and so on, are compiled programs.
The disadvantage of an interpreted language like PostScript is its lack of speed.

Java An object-oriented language originally developed at Sun by James Gosling (and known by the name "Oak") with the intention of being the successor to C++ (the project was however originally sold to Sun as an embedded language for use in set-top boxes).
For example, there is an abstract Window class and implementations of it for Unix, Microsoft Windows and the Macintosh.
The language is still (1997) under active development, and is evolving.

 Both in the same bed
Compiled and interpreted languages are in some ways mutually exclusive, but in other ways they are not.
Even if both languages were otherwise perfectly incompatible, at least a programmer could bounce from one language to the other without banging his head on silly syntactical idiocies.
Third, any attempt to create a new programming language will almost certainly be shot down because so many people are used to the C syntax (witness C++, which could not break the mould, or Java, which had the chance to break free but slavishly decided to imitate even the bad aspects of the C syntax).

 Logical Consequence, Deductive-Theoretic Conceptions [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
In such languages, the quantifier rules of deductive system N sanction incorrect inferences, and so at best N represents correct deductive reasoning in languages for which the existential presupposition with respect to singular terms makes sense.
Since, arguably, logical consequence conceived deductive-theoretically is not a compact relation and deducibility in a deductive system is, there are languages for which deductive consequence cannot be defined in terms of deducibility in a correct deductive system.
In sum, there are contexts in which it is appropriate to use languages whose vocabulary and syntactic formation rules are independent of our knowledge of the actual existence of the entities the language is about.

 Q5602 What is the difference between an interpreted language and a compiled language?
Perl is an example of an interpreted language.
A compiled language is written and then run through a compiler which checks its syntax and compresses it into a binary executable.
Since an interpreted language is not compiled, it must be checked for errors at run-time, which makes it quite a bit slower than a compiled language (like C or Java).
