  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.
For example, some compiled languages require that programs must explicitly state the data-type of a variable at the time it is declared or first used.
Initially, interpreted languages were compiled line-by-line; that is, each line was compiled as it was about to be executed, and if a loop or subroutine caused certain lines to be executed multiple times, they would be recompiled every time.

 Q5602 What is the difference between an interpreted language and a compiled language?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
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).
Perl is an example of an interpreted language.

 ZOTECA :: INFORMATION
But there is one language that both Microsoft and its competitors have all agreed to support in their various platforms: Python.
Because of the elegance and simplicity of the language, Python programs tend to be 3-5 times shorter than their equivalent in Java, and 5-10 times shorter than C++ equivalents.
"Interpreted languages are inefficient." As an interpeted language, Python is in many cases slower than Java, and certainly C++ or C. But as noted earlier, where efficiency really matters, C code can be embedded.

Scripting languages are good for their implementing variables, flow control and procedures for commands and serving as glues for commands.
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.
Interpreting the intermediate code to emulate corresponding virtual machine on a real machine thus is a heavier process compared with the situation where the virtual machine and the real machine have similar structure, either both stack-based or both register-based.

 Both in the same bed   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Because interpreted languages produce instructions to be executed by a "virtual machine", which itself runs on a "real machine", interpreted languages are automatically portable to all platforms where their virtual machine has been implemented.
First, most if not all interpreted languages are implemented in C. Second, no interpreted languages use the C syntax (Java borrows the flavor of the C syntax, but does not by any stretch of the imagination use the C syntax as is).
One of the wonders of interpreted languages is that their code can be saved to a database or transported over the Internet, and later on executed on a virtual machine implemented by whichever CPU or operating system you want.

 Å (awe), an interpreted animation language for the Web
This is particularly due to speed penalties on interpreted languages, but this is becoming less of a problem for many applications, because of continuous rise in CPU-power combined with decrease in price.
Interpreted languages are by nature more architecture independent than compiled languages and local interpretation is indispensable when real-time graphics are demanded.
One problem with local interpretation and a wide specter of languages is that every language need to distribute its own interpreter to potential end-users of the language.

 An introduction to PostScript   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
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.
Because the PostScript code is interpreted, it is not geared toward a specific CPU and can be sent to a variety of output devices, all possibly using completely different types of processors.
Another advantage of PostScript being an interpreted language, is the fact that you can change the code yourself if you do not like the resulting output or if it generates some error message.

 Term of the Week: Interpreted Language
With an interpreted language, when you run the application, the source code is still intact and any errors should be traced easily to a specific line.
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.

 Making Smalltalk Easier   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
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.
Languages with multiple dispatch model this directly, and in a language like that you wouldn't have to wonder which of the interacting objects to distinguish by making it the receiver and allowing it to customize the interaction.
With macros, you can extend the language with a concept of "create an adaptor and assign it to a variable with a standard name".

C is often described, with a mixture of fondness and disdain varying according to the speaker, as "a language that combines all the elegance and power of assembly language with all the readability and maintainability of assembly language".
ICI is a programming language with a dynamic, object based data model with the flow control constructs and operators of C. It is designed for use in many environments, including embedded systems, as an adjunct to other programs and as a text based interface to compiled libraries.
One way of placing it in the "space of languages" is to say that it aims to be as efficient as C, C++, or Fortran, as elegant as and safer than Eiffel, and support higher-order functions and iteration abstraction as well as Common Lisp, CLU or Scheme.

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.

One advantage of an interpreted language for script development is that you can perform incremental, iterative development and testing without going through a create/modify-compile-test-debug process (cycle).
An interpreted language also can be helpful if you are evolving your application by implementing it with minimal capabilities and adding advanced capabilities later.

In computer programming, interpreted language is a vague term referring to languages, most implementations of which are interpreters.
It is vague because any language can be compiled or interpreted; that is, for any language both a compiler and an interpreter can be written.
Nowadays, the differences between the two styles of execution have largely been dealt with by more sophisticated designs.

At the time he was working on the Amoeba distributed operating system group and was looking for a scripting language with a syntax like ABC but with the access to the Amoeba system calls, so he decided to create a language that was generally extensible.
It is also used as a "glue language" for connecting up the obvious pieces of a complex solution, such as Web pages, databases, and Internet sockets.

 Logical Consequence, Deductive-Theoretic Conceptions [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
We have characterized an interpreted language M by defining what qualifies as a sentence of M and by specifying the conditions under which any M-sentence is true.
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.
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.
