Description

A compiled language differs from a scripting language because after the script is complete, it is compiled, and if it is for web usage, uploaded to the server.

Each time the program is called, it is automatically executed by the server without the need of an interpreter.

Compiled languages are more time consuming to debug (because they need to be recompiled with each test run), but will execute faster when complete, because the interpreter will not have to keep processing the program.
