Compiled, interpreted, scripting languages explained

Came across this article.Strange that the guy is not a well known author but makes some very interesting points …

“Because of this every implementation of any language is interpreted, they only differ in the level at which the interpretation happens, or is most conveniently to look at by us. Languages are not implementations, they have implementations. And properties like interpreted, compiled, etc. belong to the implementation, not to the implemented language; the fact that most (all?) languages seem to have a preferred type of implementation, for example C interpreters exist, but are much less in number than C compilers.”
