The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Execution of a program requires an implementation.
- There are two main approaches for implementing a programming language – compilation, where programs are translated ahead-of-time to machine code, and interpretation, where programs are directly executed.
- In addition to these two extremes, some implementations use hybrid approaches such as just-in-time compilation and bytecode interpreters.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Programming language article was read about 280,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 80 and blocks with 80: each hit it takes is cut by 32 %.
