Why is there such a clear cut between interpreted and compiled languages?

When learning a compiled language like C or C++, you get to know the compiler. In order to run your code, you have to compile it first. Compiling your code translates it from a textual representation into something that can be executed. The…

Why are there no languages that are both interpreted and (really) compiled?

I am an (old) engineer not a programmer so forgive me for asking a naïve question. My understanding is that to get really fast execution times for a program, it needs to be compiled to native machine code. And there are a relatively small number of…

Is there a way to delay the choice of calling convention without leaving too much work to the linker?

TL;DR: Is there a way to specify a calling convention/a way a function will retrieve its argument/the return value(s) of another function after compilation? Is it possible to generate assembly/machine code that can later be further optimized…

Why use an interpreted language to make a compiled one adjustable "on-the-fly"?

I've read about certain programs, such as the Civilization video game series, using interpreted components (Lua in this case) to interface with compiled ones (C++ I assume) to allow for user extendability through mods and such. Why is invoking a…

What is recommended for plug in systems in applications?

What are the “normal” ways to do plug-ins in compiled languages (C#/C/C++/D)? I am specifically interested in language agnostic approaches but language specific is not unacceptable. For the time being, “compile time” plug in approaches (just include…

If Javascript code gets executed line by line then, how AST (Abstract syntax tree) works?

Javascript is an interpreted language which executes code line by line. On the other hand, AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) inside the Javascript engine, created the data structure of the whole code and converts into machine code. Then how line by line…
