language interpreters/ interpreted languages weaknesses?

[Mr Kelvin Lee]

Hi,

The main weakness I hear about language interpreters/ interpreted
languages (btw.. is that the same thing?) is that they are slow(?).. is
this because of the way they handle (data) variables?

Are there any other major weaknesses of interpreted languages over
conventional languages such as C, C++, Ada etc.?

What are the most popular interpreted languages around?

Thanks,
