But in spirit and in practice, what the engine is doing in processing JS programs is **much more alike compilation** than not. -Classifying JS as a compiled language is not concerned with the distribution model for its binary (or byte-code) executable representations, but rather in keeping a clear distinction in our minds about the phase where JS code is processed and analyzed; this phase observably and indisputedly happens *before* the code starts to be executed. +Classifying JS as a compiled language is not concerned with the distribution model for its binary (or byte-code) executable representations, but rather in keeping a clear distinction in our minds about the phase where JS code is processed and analyzed; this phase observably and indisputably happens *before* the code starts to be executed. We need proper mental models of how the JS engine treats our code if we want to understand JS and scope effectively.
