What are the advantages and disadvantages of using an interpreted language compared to a compiled language?
Hey Mark
Interpreted languages offer notable advantages, such as portability, enabling code to be executed on any machine with the appropriate interpreter, and facilitating a more streamlined development process with quicker code-test-debug cycles due to the absence of a separate compilation step. However, they do come with drawbacks. Most prominently, interpreted languages generally exhibit lower performance compared to compiled languages, mainly because of the overhead introduced by interpreting code on the fly as opposed to executing precompiled binaries.
