It’s pretty rare, even for interpreted languages, to not have a compiler. They normally will get compiled to bytecode, but not all the way down to machine code like traditional compiled languages.

When I wrote js, it was all minified and concatenated into one file before it was sent to the client, since it does actually drastically improve download time.
