Advantages of Interpreting A Language
Interpreted language is an object oriented language. Interpreting a language gives implementations some additional flexibility over compiled implementations. Features that are often easier to implement in interpreters than in compilers include (but are not limited to):
- platform independence (Java's byte code, for example)
- reflection and reflective use of the evaluator (e.g. a first-order eval function)
- dynamic typing
- smaller executable program size (since implementations have flexibility to choose the instruction code)
- dynamic scoping
