I am old. I have no idea what interperated is :)

:) Not sure if you're joking or not, so I'll be more rude and ask if you've ever written a compiler for the fun of it.. That will gauge your real age ;)
I'm not sure, but that person may have been attempting to make a joke about your misspelling of "interpreted".
ah.. Well colour me silly! ;) Well played!
On a more serious note: an excel macro language like VBA pretty much needs to be interperated or the compiler needs to be hidden away like VBA does. As user you shouldn’t have to deal with a compiler step. You can do this with C# pretty well as you can with other languages.

Personally I think it would be really cool if they used TypeScript instead of JavaScript.
