What is The Difference Between Visual FoxPro And BeanShell, Programming Languages
Visual FoxPro is a Compiled Programming Language, while BeanShell is a Scripting Language
What are Compiled Programming Languages
A compiled language is a programming language whose implementations are typically compilers (translators that generate machine code from source code), and not interpreters (step-by-step executors of source code, where no pre-runtime translation takes place). (Wikipedia)
What are Scripting Languages
Scripting languages are programming languages that control an application. Scripts can execute independent of any other application. They are mostly embedded in the application that they control and are used to automate frequently executed tasks like communicating with external programs.
