It depends on the language a bit. BeanShell is run in the JVM and has an additional layer of interpretation. Lua, Python, and Perl are actually the C versions running natively. All interaction with Android is over RPC channels. Still, the RPC API is compiled to dex so there’s no additional interpretation in Java (other than reflection).
