Line 167:
(Assembly languages might also be included with compiled/interpreted languages, I don't know enough to know). It it's not compiled or interpreted, is it really a [[programming language]]? Not according to that article I don't think. I don't know enough about the subject to do it, but I'm suggesting that it probably should be done.

:Just looking at them:
:* An [[Interpreter (computing)|interpreter]] is a computer program that directly executes instructions written in a programming or scripting language, without requiring them previously to have been compiled into a machine language program.
:* A [[compiler]] is a computer program that translates computer code written in one programming language (the source language) into another language (the target language)
:There is nothing stopping one from writing an interpreter and a compiler for the same language. At that point, the language is both interpreted and compiled - what is your proposal?
:Regarding assembly, the translation from mnemonics to machine code is clearly a compilation step. [[User:Mathnerd314159|Mathnerd314159]] ([[User talk:Mathnerd314159|talk]]) 15:39, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
