→C is a compiled language: Reply |

::No, some languages must not be compiled. This is the case of shell scripts, for which any syntax error must not yield an error as long as the corresponding line is not attempted to be executed. — [[User:Vincent Lefèvre|Vincent Lefèvre]] ([[User talk:Vincent Lefèvre|talk]]) 12:11, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
::Technically, it may be correct that any language can be "compiled" or interpreted. However, it is extremely misleading to claim that there is no distinction between compiled languages and interpreted languages. As Vincent Lefèvre pointed out, shell scripts should not yield an error as long as the corresponding line is not "attempted to be executed". The only feasible way to "compile" such a language would be to bundle an interpreter into a binary with the language. Some languages are clearly designed to be interpreted. Languages with a eval function like Javascript and Python would require an entire interpreter or JIT compiler to be bundled into the executable if such a function was called with a runtime value.

:::Note however that Perl is a compiled language with an <code>eval</code> function. The whole compilation step is done before execution of the script or of the eval'ed code. Contrary to purely interpreted languages, any syntax error is detected, even if the corresponding code would not be reached during execution. — [[User:Vincent Lefèvre|Vincent Lefèvre]] ([[User talk:Vincent Lefèvre|talk]]) 17:48, 19 July 2025 (UTC)
