      I always thought that programs had to be compiled to be classed as programs.

          Interpreted languages have classically been called scripting languages, it’s pedantic but it has use and meaning in the industry.

            There is no purpose to mislabeling something and speaking inaccurately in a professional setting.

              No, it’s not. It’s objectively inaccurate.

              A computer does not care whether the instructions it’s executing were compiled ahead of time or interpreted on the fly and they literally never have.
