what is a downside of interpreted language?

Interpreted languages would not be able to identify certain errors until code is actually run and tested. In a large application, it is very time consuming to manually test every scenario, or to write and maintain additional code that tests of every scenario, whenever code is changed. For example, in a compiled language if a method named GetUser is renamed to GetEmployee as part of some code updates, any reference to GetUser throughout the rest of the application will cause an error during compilation, making it easy to identify and fix.

Jquery simplifies a lot of the complicated things from JavaScript, like AJAX calls and DOM manipulation

What is the prototype mechanism?
