You are missing the forrest for the trees.

When people refer to a language, most often they are using it as a synecdoche to refer to the whole language ecosystem and not just the the formal language definition.

If you look at the Python ecosystem, it is most definitely interpreted.

Off topic, but thank you for introducing the word "synecdoche" to me.

Did you look up how to pronounce it? I was mispronouncing it for like a year after seeing “Synecdoche New York” (it’s kinda pretentious, not for everyone). My coworker laughed at me when I said the name to him. I’d only ever seen it written, and did not look at a pronunciation chart. Wah wah.

Just in case anyone else is getting it wrong like I was …

Now the question for non-native speakers is: How to pronounce that word? ;D

Or at least, that's how I'm hearing it from Google.

L sounds like a short "OO" in Brazilian Portuguese, and he asked how a non-native would pronounce it...

Personally, I often find myself saying things like "the <lang> ecosystem" to avoid this.

I think it is fair to have a discussion about terminology and arguing with the actual meaning of terms. When there is a technical difference, it would be good to acknowledge that difference between terms. It does not hurt anyone to do that. One can still say something like: "When we communicate I will use the word x for meaning y, because it is shorter and more convenient."
