title: Dynamically compiled language vs statically compiled language
body: <p>The first line of this <a href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-jtp12214/." rel="noreferrer">article by Brian Goetz</a> made me to post this question in SO .  Here 's the line again:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Writing and interpreting performance benchmarks for dynamically
    compiled languages, such as Java, is far more difficult than for
    statically compiled languages like C or C++.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I know the <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1517582/what-is-the-difference-between-statically-typed-and-dynamically-typed-languages">answer of statically typed vs dynamically typed language</a> . But what is the difference between dynamically compiled language vs statically compiled language?</p>
