Strictly speaking, what was stated is correct, because there is no "Javascript" language to begin with: Loosely speaking it is wrong, though, because ECMAScript source code in Web browsers and elsewhere is JIT-compiled and _not_ interpreted verbatim. Most of the script engines of ECMAScript implementations compile source code to bytecode, executed by a Virtual Machine (this applies to Netscape/Mozilla JavaScript and Microsoft JScript). Google V8 even JIT-compiles source code to native machine code, which part of why it is so fast by comparison. >> because it is an interpreted language. > > One does not follow from the other.

I do not think you know what a compiler is or where you are posting to, though.
