Abstract

Programmers use programming languages to develop software. But how efficiently programmers can write software depends on the translation mode that is used by them. In computing, the general modes of execution for modern high-level languages are interpretation, compilation and hybrid. The selection of these general modes of execution is dependent on the choice of programming language. In this paper, the study compared compiled, interpreted and hybrid programming languages under translation process, execution, efficiency, portability, maintainability, and security. The paper contains idea about how software development are influenced by the decision to use compiler, interpreter or hybrid as a mode of translation hence purpose of this research. It was observed that compiled, interpreted and hybrid programming languages have their strengths and weakness, hence the need for programmers to critically analyzed their goal and how the various programming languages will help to achieve that goal before choosing a language.
