 \subsubsection{Interpreters}
+  Interpreters, like one in the \textit{shell}, are a fundamental part of
+  modern day programming. Interpreters are run as userspace programs, acting as
+  a \textit{host} for the program they interpret. The interpreter effectively
+  hides the details of the Operating System, often even implementing a virtual
+  machine for that job, in order to provide \textit{portability} and
+  \textit{usability} to the programmers. That is why the most used and demanded
+  programming languages nowadays are interpreted \cite{PLCommunity:Tambad}.
+
 %  Unix was marketed as a system for multiple languages / supports many
 %  languages via interpreters that ease the development experience. Describe how
 %  they work and why they are useful
