What would be the use case for the interpreted version? I would assume it would be usable for the development process, surely running interpreted code on devices would be a total waste if compiled code is available?


During development is probably the best use case I can think of. With editor integration an interpreter is a tremendous help when coding. At least Lisps, Ruby, Python and Haskell have this kind of "development environments' to a some degree. I think GHCI even doubles as a debugger.
