I'm pretty sure bash still interprets line by line because you can mess up a script by editing it while it is executing.

- int_19h 4y agobash (and other shells) are special in that regard, because they use textual substitution so heavily - to pass arguments etc. But Python, Ruby etc all compile to bytecode, and have always done so as far as I can remember.
