Codes written in a programming language needs to be compiled before it is run, and once it is compiled, you may run it as many times as you want without compiling it again. However, codes written in a scripting language is interpreted at runtime, and a program is needed to interpret the code everytime it is run.
In the case of C++ and Graal:
C++ codes are compiled before it is run.
GScript codes are interpretted by the Graal Client at runtime.

I suppose that is the difference Okiesmokies is referring to.

A lot of scripting languages like Lua compile their code to bytecode before runtime.

Gscript is one of these languages.

I think you misunderstood what I meant.

Gscript is compiled into bytecode, and then parsed. Of course Gscript won't run without a game client or NPC-Server - the bytecode is probably fairly unique to Gscript, and is dependant on the runtime.

I edited my post because of how vague it was, and I didn't think before I submitted it :P

I am not sure how this in any way relates to what I said!
