  2. JavaScript - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript

    JavaScript at Wikibooks. JavaScript ( / ˈdʒɑːvəskrɪpt / ), often abbreviated as JS, is a programming language and core technology of the Web, alongside HTML and CSS. 99% of websites use JavaScript on the client side for webpage behavior. [10] Web browsers have a dedicated JavaScript engine that executes the client code.

  3. Interpreter (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpreter_(computing)

    Compiled programs will typically use building blocks (functions) kept in a library of such object code modules. A linker is used to combine (pre-made) library files with the object file(s) of the application to form a single executable file. The object files that are used to generate an executable file are thus often produced at different times ...

    Emacs Lisp. JavaScript and some dialects, e.g., JScript. Lua (embedded in many games) OpenCL (extension of C and C++ to use the GPU and parallel extensions of the CPU) OptimJ (extension of Java with language support for writing optimization models and powerful abstractions for bulk data processing) Perl. Pike.

  5. Compiled language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiled_language

    Compiled language. A compiled language is a programming language whose implementations are typically compilers (translators that generate machine code from source code ), and not interpreters (step-by-step executors of source code, where no pre-runtime translation takes place). The term is somewhat vague.

  6. JavaScript engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript_engine

    A JavaScript engine is a software component that executes JavaScript code. The first JavaScript engines were mere interpreters, but all relevant modern engines use just-in-time compilation for improved performance. [1] JavaScript engines are typically developed by web browser vendors, and every major browser has one.

  7. Just-in-time compilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-in-time_compilation

    In a bytecode-compiled system, source code is translated to an intermediate representation known as bytecode. Bytecode is not the machine code for any particular computer, and may be portable among computer architectures. The bytecode may then be interpreted by, or run on a virtual machine. The JIT compiler reads the bytecodes in many sections ...

  8. Dart (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dart_(programming_language)

    This makes Dart apps compatible with all major browsers. Dart optimizes the compiled JavaScript output to avoid expensive checks and operations. This results in JavaScript code that can run faster than equivalent code handwritten in pure JavaScript. The first Dart-to-JavaScript compiler was dartc. It was deprecated in Dart 2.0. The second Dart ...

  9. Programming language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_language

    Programming language. The source code for a computer program in C. The gray lines are comments that explain the program to humans. When compiled and run, it will give the output "Hello, world!". A programming language is a system of notation for writing computer programs. [1]
