title: Is LISP a compiled or interpreted language?
body: <p>I know there is no such thing, strictly speaking, as a compiled or interpreted language.</p>
  
  <p>But, generally speaking, is LISP used to write scripts like Python, bash script, and batch script?</p>
  
  <p>Or is it a general purpose programming language like C++, JAVA, and C#?</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone explain this in simple terms?</p>
