My usage of the interpreter is 99/01. I compile stuff just to check that there
are no problems, in case I wanted to distribute a compiled version of my code.
Also, in this way I get some experience with a compiled language, since I
have always used interpreters in my life, so I view all the problems with
compilation as a learning experience ;)
