Just about everything uses an API to the CPU/OS/GPU. We're really just drawing lines in the sand and placing goalposts. Sometimes it shifts back and forth.
Honestly the distinction is pretty useless as far as reading/writing production code goes. What really changes in your development mindset between compiled vs. scripting languages? You still want to write working, maintainable, and performing code in both.
It's a useful distinction when teaching programming to show the different ways things boil down to primitive instructions.
- dullgiulio 8y agoCareful that you are conflating scripting and interpreted. Mostly we think of scripting as "interpreted and dynamically typed", but it's just an habit with no base. Notice that interpreted and dynamically typed are two independent properties.
