> Making a pedantic argument on what constitutes an interpreter is silly. The title is bad. It is an interpreter.

It's not a pedantic argument. Based on the title I thought that somebody wrote something akin to V8 in 800 lines of Python. After reading the comments I realized those 800 lines just interpret a particular JavaScript function written by Youtube. Those things are different. Pointing out the fact that they are different is not pedantry. The title is misleading and the comments pointing that out are helpful.
