That's gotten trendy in the recent past, but I think you have a generation or wave of developers who literally don't realize it's an interpreted language and you can write short, very sweet vanilla JS and have it run almost everywhere without needing any ahead of time optimizations. _Modern_ JS in _modern_ engines is a dream!

- kizer 6y agoIn this sense it means not requiring a precompilation step. JITing is an implementation detail; also modern engines compile to a bytecode first during interpretation.
