Is it really possible to updata a JavaScript file using mbed & JS

In this article Why JavaScript on microcontrollers makes sense it says under the Cheaper firmware updates section:

"When we run an interpreted language, our application logic is just text, separated from the native libraries and the VM. This makes it easy to send new firmware to the device (it's just text) and it compresses and diffs very well"

Is the script file really interpreterad, and could be updated without flashing the whole firmware? I thought it was compiled...
