What makes a compiled executable faster than interpreted code seems kind of self evident.

What makes a compiled executable faster than interpreted code seems kind of self evident.
- callahad 10y agoMany developers have no practical exposure to compiled languages, and are prone to believe that Node.js is generally "faster" than Java and comparable to C++. We all had to learn this stuff somewhere. :)
- Qwertious 10y agoI see what you mean, but it's actually possible for JITed code to be faster than compiled code, as JIT can make run-time optimisations that aren't visible at compile-time.
- raarts 10y agoTrue fact but not really useful if this only applies to 0.01% of the cases.
