It's basically meaningless when you try to line languages up with that sort of criterion.

Go compiles fast enough that you can use it with a wrapper "interpreter": https://github.com/erning/gorun So does C: https://github.com/ryanmjacobs/c So does Haskell: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8676377 So does f#, via `#!/usr/bin/env fsharpi --exec` I think

You can compile python: https://github.com/dropbox/pyston You can compile JS: http://enclosejs.com/ I wouldn't be surprised if someone found a way to AOT-compile bash, but I'm not going to bother looking for that.

The only criterion I've found which makes some sort of sense is whether the language designers consider "scripting" a use case to actively support and use to drive language features, or if it's a second-class citizen.

You seem to have ignored "most common usage". None of your examples are "most common usage"
