Actually V8 use JIT (Just-In-Time) compiler, it doesn't follow traditional way of using Interpreter,
For JIT compilation v8 uses a pipeline called Ignition which is also called as Ignition interpreter
Didn't they add an Interpreter back because its faster for code that will run only once?
I would say V8 actually does both interpretation and compilation and can switch between them whenever is needed.

Thanks for pointing out mistakes
