Compiled languages translate the entire source code ahead of time into machine code-binary instructions the processor can run directly. Because no translation is needed at runtime, execution is typically faster than with interpreted languages, which read and execute code line-by-line. The other statements describe traits of interpreted environments or add incorrect hardware/server requirements, so they do not characterize compiled languages.
