> compiled languages Might be tripping you up. Very few languages require that implementations be compiled or interpreted. For most languages, having a compiler or interpreter is an implementation decision. I can implement Python as an interpreter (CPython) or as a compiler (mypyc). I can implement Scheme as an interpreter (Chicken Scheme's csi) or as a compiler (Chicken Scheme's csc). The list goes on: Standard ML's Poly/ML implementation ships a compiler and an interpreter; OCaml ships a compiler and an interpreter. There are interpreted versions of Go like https://github.com/traefik/yaegi https://github.com/traefik/yaegi. And there are native-, AOT-compiled versions of Java like GraalVM's native-image. For most languages there need be no relationship at all between compiler vs interpreter, static vs dynamic, strict or no typing.
