You are one of those people stuck in the 90s, then.

Take 5 min to read about JIT and AOT compilation.



What point are you trying to make? V8 has a JIT compiler too, does that make JavaScript a compiled language?


If you run JavaScript with a JIT compiler, you can't say "it is slow because it is interpreted". And it is obviously wrong to say "V8 is slow because it is an interpreter", isn't it?
