The Role of Compilers, Interpreters, and JIT Environments in Software Engineering and Programming Language Theory
Compilers, interpreters, and JIT environments are crucial in software development, connecting human-readable code to machine execution. Compilers translate code ahead-of-time, interpreters execute it line-by-line for immediacy, and JIT compiles during runtime for optimization. Each tool influences performance, development speed, and adaptability, shaping programming language theory and software engineering practices.
