Nothing presently on this earth can execute it without compiling it.
The so-called "interpreter" is really a "quietly compile and run"-er.
However if we ignore that condition, sure. The code which does so will
include a line something like

new java.net.URL("http://www.simplyscala.com/interp?" + code)

and there you have it. You don't even need scala-library.jar!
