        That’s just the difference between compiled and interpreted.

        Interpreted programs such as web apps can very much be programs, after all.

          Interpreted languages have classically been called scripting languages, it’s pedantic but it has use and meaning in the industry.

            There is no purpose to mislabeling something and speaking inaccurately in a professional setting.

              No, it’s not. It’s objectively inaccurate.

              A computer does not care whether the instructions it’s executing were compiled ahead of time or interpreted on the fly and they literally never have.
