There's a slippery word if ever I saw one. Does Java count? Python? C? You could make arguments for all, or none, of these depending on what "proper" is.
- shmerl 13y agoI said "properly" to avoid confusion, but it probably only increased it. Java is not a strictly compiled language, since it still uses JVM. Most modern dynamic languages aren't purely interpretive and they use various techniques (like JIT) which make them closer to compiled, but they are still not "properly" compiled in a sense. That's what I meant above.
