"Scripts are interpreted" is a bit 1990s; as the Scripting 1.0 languages have tried to squeeze every last bit of performance out of the constraints they labor under this is less true than it used to be. And more to the point, rather than a binary distinction like you could have claimed in 1995, it's much, much more a continuum now, and with computers running a bazillion times faster, much less important. I'm not that worried about applying a useless criterion to languages that dates from an era whose desktop computers would aspire to keep up with a low-end 'feature' phone.
