You guys make me laugh. I already walk/transit everything but autocross events, road trips, and trips to the lumber yard. And I can't haul sheet goods no matter what... So I may as well not have a car. I could bike if it doesn't destroy my back. Oh, I can't haul my kayaks either... So the car really is just a huge expense for fun. I may just be burned out, 3 days of racing this and next weekend coming up, and I haven't had a weekend off since early April (one was a road trip not an event)

JavaScript is compiled to bytecode at interpretation in modern JS engines, and optimized further as it runs. It's definitely not a traditional compiled language, but it is no longer purely interpreted either. I tripped over some bugs in V8 that led me to some talks on the JIT compiler not long ago. Previously I, also thought it was just an interpreted language.
