Category talk:Execution method

Umm, Not such an easy distinction to make.

Perl, Python, Ruby, TCL,.... are interpreted languages that have bytecode. sometimes called byte-coded interpreters, but when shortened, never called compilers.

Java started out as, and may still be in some implementations, compiled to bytecode but known as a compiled language.

Lisp and Forth have been known to be compiled/interpreted down to machine code/byte code and have CPU's whose machine code/byte code was created for their express use. I think we should be intentionally 'woolly' here, which fits how execution method is categorized in practice, or omit. --Paddy3118 05:23, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
