There are three phases of execution: parsing, verification and evaluation. Invalid programs will terminate during one of these three phases, before the program runs to completion.
There are two dialects of the language described by this specification, one a subset of the other. These languages differ only in that one has additional verification rules. The more permissive language is called the standard dialect, and the more restrictive language is called the strict dialect.
