Compiled language

A compiled language is a programming language for which source code is typically compiled; not interpreted.

The term is vague since, in principle, any language can be compiled or interpreted and in practice some languages are both (in different environments).[1] In some environments, source code is first compiled (to an intermediate form; often bytecode) and then interpreted.
