I think it should be mentioned that programming languages evolved with the hardware. From mechanical reading cards, to faster vacuum tubes, to faster transistors, to faster disc readers, to faster RAM. Each time hardware evolved new programming languages took advantage of it by using more complex commands and routines. Compilers, that interpret the commands, have became so fast now, that they can compile in real time, or on the fly. So you don’t have to wait for a compiler to complete to run the program or application.
