Spice is an interpreter.

SPICE makes sense as an interpreter. Compilers are best for programs you
write once and use several times; interpreters are best for programs you
run once but write several of. If you consider every change to a circuit
to be a separate program you run once (which makes perfect sense when you
consider you would be recompiling it every time you made a change), and
you consider that once the circuit works to your liking you probably won't
be running that simulation often, then an interpreter is perfect for the
job and a compiler would be slow and inconvenient.
