Interpreter design refers to the process of creating an interpreter, a type of software that directly executes programming language code line-by-line, without compiling it into machine code first. As a crucial aspect of programming language implementation, interpreter design is relevant to the tech community because it enables the development of dynamic, flexible, and interactive programming environments, and is a key consideration for language designers and developers building scripting languages, REPLs, and other interactive coding tools.
