js isn't really interpreted anymore, it's all jit-compiled. instructions that help with common compiler operations are pretty standard.

but there have been cpu features for interactive languages for a long time. lispmachines and forth systems are the obvious ones, but there's been a push towards software-specific cpu dev even in the mainstream. UltraSPARC could run java natively, and itanium was designed with object-oriented systems in mind.
