Come up with a good analogy to compare compiled languages and interpreted languages.

Using compiled languages is like communicating by sending telegrams using morse code, and using interpreted languages is like communicating using the latest messaging apps on a modern high end smartphone.
Just fucking open Andrew Tanenbaum and fucking read the first paragraph and fucking delete this thread.

Compiled:
Warming up oneself by standing next to a fire
Interpreted:
Using the same fire's heat instead to drive a turbine that generates electricity, which is then used to power an electric space heater.
Almost no languages used today are "interpreted". They're all compiled. Even languages like JS, Ruby, Python, which are traditional examples of "interpreted" languages, actually get compiled to some intermediate, optimized code first.

what are some true interpreted languages?
>>58906522
Haskell and ML have true interpreters, i.e. it is read line by line and converted directly to machine code. If it is converted to any kind of intermediate code, it becomes a compiled language.
>>58906522
I know the "official" implementation of Lua is interpreted, unless >>58906511 includes compiling to bytecode
A compiled language is like doing your own homework.
An interpreted language is like asking /g/ to do your homework.
A compiled language is like asking a girl to suck your dick.
An interpreted language is like asking a guy to suck your dick.
Which one you prefer depends on whether or not you're a faggot.
Compiled is like using a recipe to make a dish
Interpreted is like asking a pajeet to make the dish and he says he's "got it" but he has no notes and no ingredients and every time he needs an ingredient he has to leave the kitchen and buy it at the store
