But being one who is out there doing such, even BIG applications
are often written in an interpreted language. AcuCobol, Business Basic,
AppGen, MUMPS, ..etc..etc.. are all program environments
run under a "runtime" that interpretes the code.

RealWorld, SouthWare, OpenSystem Software, Mas90 are just a few of
the "industrial" strength application systems that use the above.


Some of these have options of "compiling" to object code, with is more
like what "shroud" does, the creating a "True" object.

While true that interpreted language is not going to be as fast,
the trade off is ease of maintainability, ease of development,
and others, that I would gladly give up a little speed for.

Now, <LOL> .. who wants help me write a PICK dbm?
