A scripting language runs in an interpreter, a real language is compiled into code that runs directly on the machine.
Dylan Sullivan
Scripting language usually refers to a confined environment whereas language usually means general purpos
Logan Adams
Wrong

Where does that put Java?

In the designated shitting street.

Some smartass will always say, that there are no interpreted or compiled languages, it all depends on the implementation, the syntax and semantic of the language is independant from that.
Mason Collins
Kinda inbetween.
Ian Gutierrez
by definition: a scripting language just executes commands that you could execute by hand
a good example of a scripting language would be BASH
Kayden Cooper
A scripting language is run by an interpreter, a real one is spoken by humans to communicate.
Connor Carter
What does doing by hand mean? I mean my OS may allow me to do some things by hand, but not others. Now in an update the OS adds functionality to the gui and suddenly a language that was previously not a scripting language becomes a scripting language?
Eli Cruz
Scripting languages never get compiled to machine code, or if they do it is JIT (Just-in-time) compiled
Julian Wright
There's debug consoles with command interpretation for various languages. That's a terrible definition.
Scripting languages are not compiled, that's all.
Hudson Ortiz
the scripting language itself is just a tool to run commands that already exist on your OS.
these guys are wrong. while a scripting language is always an interpreted language, a language being interpreted instead of compiled doesn't make it a scripting language
Henry Murphy
What if I write a python compiler?
Camden Gonzalez
This.
Anthony Gomez
You're dumb because most modern scripting languages use JIT so they are in fact compiled
Ian Sullivan
you are such a fucking retard
namedrop the language you're calling a scripting language so I can laugh at you
Landon Ramirez
Isn't the compiled binary code just scripting language that your machine interpretes?
Adrian Wood
is assembler a scripting language?
Owen Butler
Anything that can run in an environment that supports scripting. Lua is common. JS is another. Even Python

>the scripting language itself is just a tool to run commands that already exist on your OS.
What do you mean by commands? Shell commands? I can load any library with Python just fine. OS/Kernel functions? Now your definition includes all languages, good job retard.
Then you made a non-standard deviate of Python because you lose OS independence.

Fuck cris! you're fucking flooding Jow Forums today
Jose Rogers
python isn't a scripting language.
Jackson Sullivan
Yes it is. It's not compiled, code is delivered as a readable script.

repeating yourself doesn't make you right.
Isaiah Ward
The same goes for you.
Nathaniel Rodriguez
Everything that isn't C or machine code is a scripting language.

did you guys know that C++ is a scripting language? github.com
Chase Morris
This guy apparently knew it.
Wyatt Bennett
heh
Andrew Phillips
It runs directly on machine. Java machine
