HERE’S WHY YOU WANT A COMPILED LANGUAGE:

Software that is stable and is close to error free as you can get — the compiler is your best friend.

The compiler is a program that checks to make sure you’ve followed proper syntax rules. It can spot some obvious programming mistakes that would be made, especially is you’re working on a project late at night tired ;)

DOWNFALL OF NOT HAVING A COMPILED LANGUAGE

You have to rely on completely testing your program, and honestly, that never happens. The Last Bug is an old joke, but it’s true. No program is perfect.

If you have a systematic set of rules, which is what a language is, then you can have a machine shake it for you. It’s much faster and way more reliable, especially having thousands of lines of code.
