Does that mean any > compiled language would be faster than the fastest interpreted?(euphoria);} Depending on how an interpreter is set up, a well designed interpreted language could run almost as fast as a compiled language. Both do a once- thru to optomise constants and inline code blocks. If the keywords in the interpreted language are also replaced with the equivalent inline pre-compiled code, or at least a jmp to such code, the interpreter will be faster than 1/2 as fast as the compiled code. And some interpreted language implementations will run faster than compiled: Eu interpreted will outrun my Turbo pascal compiled code.
