in thread At Last, a Useful Definition of "Scripting Language"
scripting languages, because they can be created and/or modified very easily on the fly, are used to do things, and non-scripting programming languages are used to make things.
This seems to get to the heart of it. But, does this mean you are unable to identify a scripting language without examining how its used?
This also implies a different development methodology for scripting than for making things.
