No, it isn't. It's compiled. The compiled code may be executed by
simulation, interpretation, custom hardware or translation to other
formats but none of that makes the language 'interpreted'. Unless I
suppose one chooses to be very nit-picky and claim that machine code is
interpreted by the instruction decoder section ofa cpu.
