![]() JavaScript is also a pretty powerful language built into every modern browser (and many other 'languages' are interpreted by browsers now as well). They both have to read, parse, and lex code, and interpret it according to the specification of the language. You might think a web browser has nothing to do with a programming language (I did), but actually, they do pretty much the same things except for compiling the code to executable form. I'm not halfway through the course yet, but we've learned some interesting concepts as well as the foundations of lexical analysis. If you're interested, there's a great free course you can take on Udacity that will give you a good idea: (Programming Languages - Building a Web Browser).
