Overall LGTM! Just one question though :)

- An interpreter generally uses one of the following strategies for program execution:

- Parse the source code and perform its behavior directly. Ex:- dBASE and BASIC
- Translate source code into some efficient intermediate representation or object code (ex bytecode) and immediately execute that. Ex:- Java

In previous property, will there be no IR formation/transformation? My opinion is that regardless of the strategy of interpreter, IR formation/lowering will happen always. If efficiency is the major point of difference between both strategies, can you explicitly highlight that.
