:Like most things in life, it is very hard to find a clean distinction when you look closer. Python is interpreted and has byte code; (as is Perl). Java is compiled and has byte code (as is C#). Trying to categorize Lisp and Forth will force you to look deeper into what distinctions you want to make when you bin a language as ''either'' compiled ''or'' interpreted.

:: I was asking specifically so that the language could be categorized. It's ''primarily'' bytecoded, and it doesn't have the poor performance of a purely interpreted language. (FWIW, I believe Tcl's the same in this regard; mainly bytecoded with the potential to go interpreted in some awkward highly dynamic cases.) And mammals are defined by having mammary glands. —[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 07:49, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
