    Factual errors:

    • Interpreters neither need nor usually have a compilation step
    • Even processors are nowadays virtual machines, modern hardware only understands microcode AFAIK

    Words which have a common understanding in the current compiler construction world, which you define in IMHO a non standard way

    • Compiler is commonly used to refer to tools which translate higher level languages (e.g. Java, C, Python, JavaScript) to a machine representation (e.g. JVM, Arm64, x86_64, MIPS…)
    • Even in academia Java is referred to as compiled/interpreted language (at the same time)

    Factual errors about Java:

    • We have ahead of time compilers for a very long time now (GraalVM etc)
    • There are chips which implement the JVM in hardware
