Scripting and execution runtimes provide developers and systems engineers with specialized environments, virtual machines, and engines to execute code across various architectures. These tools optimize script interpretation, memory allocation, and concurrency models for languages like JavaScript, Lua, Python, and WebAssembly. Unlike general compilers or cloud hosting platforms, they focus strictly on the underlying execution layer, resource scheduling, and process lifecycle at runtime.
