Compiled Interfaces
Compiled interfaces are a programming concept where interface definitions are processed at compile-time rather than runtime, typically in statically-typed languages. This allows the compiler to enforce type safety, optimize code, and catch errors early by verifying that implementing classes or structures adhere to the interface contract. It contrasts with dynamic or duck-typed interfaces that are resolved during execution.
Developers should use compiled interfaces in scenarios requiring robust type safety, performance optimization, and early error detection, such as in large-scale applications, systems programming, or safety-critical software. They are essential in languages like Java, C#, and Go, where compile-time checks prevent runtime failures and enable better tooling support like IDEs and static analyzers.
