Compiled vs Interpreted

Compiled	Interpreted
compiler is a program that translates statements from programming language to another language (machine code)	Translating each statement into a sequence of one or more subroutines and then into machine code
Not on the fly	On the fly
Speed of execution: executable can be directly executed on the target machine	Nowadays, interpreted compiles into bytecode first -> prepare and optimize for further interpretation
Programs have to be compiled for a specific cpu architecture	There are not many fully interpreted languages left
Long compilation time	Faster compilation: for the implementations that compile to bytecode
C, Go, Rust,..	Slower execution speed, potential for leaking source code
	JS

JIT (Just in time):

• hybrid between normal compilation and interpretation

• Store already compiled machine code (base on how often a piece of code is executed)
