| Topic | What advantages does C have over Python, other than speed? |
| Sahuagin 04/26/22 11:55:41 PM #17: | Yellow posted... no one has been able to convince me why they should be used nor have I been able to convince myselfone of the main benefits of a fully interpreted language is that an interpreter is easier to write than a compiler. another one is device independence. but Java bytecode or .NET JIT are close to being best of both worlds. they're fast like compilers, but still device independent. also, rather than having to have a different compiler for each combination of platform and language (NxM), you only need one JVM/JITter per platform and one compiler per language (N + M). I don't think there is otherwise any argument that an interpreted language could be better than a compiled language (all else equal, etc.). --- The truth basks in scrutiny. http://i.imgur.com/GMouTGs.jpg http://projecteuler.net/profile/Sahuagin.png ...
