2. Runtime vs. Realtime Considerations

Thus far, we have learned several feature differences between scripting and programming languages.

1. Research the concept of      compilation with regards to code.
2. Is there a difference in how      scripts are compiled vs. how programs are compiled?
3. What is the difference between      compiletime and runtime? 
4. Should these differences and      definitions have an impact on what language you choose to write in? Why?
5. Research and determine what types      of languages are used predominantly in your industry, and why those      choices might relate to the differences between runtime and realtime      compilation and/or execution.
