Those are all interpreters.
Actually the first two listed appear to be true Basic compilers, while the last three appear to be interpreters. Basic was originally designed as a interpreter only language, but many modern versions are true compilers.What we are working on is a true compiler that generates native code (better code than GCC sometimes) !
What do you mean by 'better code than GCC sometimes? The Arduino IDE compiler is GCC, it's no better or worst then GCC, because it is GCC?
