This distinction doesn't make much sense in 2017: most languages are blends of all these things with technologies like VM's, JIT, Ahead-of-time compilation, etc...

Underneath they're still divisible. AoT is always native machine code. JIT/VM/Bytecode is VM, basically machine code on demand.

Then there's interpreted code which has worked the same way for forever
