Which JVM languages are interpreted rather than compiled to bytecode?


The wikipedia article on JVM languages states:

Some of these languages are interpreted by a Java program, and some are compiled to Java bytecode...

Which well-known, general purpose JVM languages are interpreted by a Java program?

    I don't think that statement is correct. A language with a Java interpreter is not a "JVM language", it's just an interpreted language. IMO a JVM language (which is in fact a misnomer, they'd be languages with a JVM implementation) is one that gets compiled to JVM bytecode
