[OT] difference of Scripting and programming

[bruce]

john...

if i may.. who deemed you god, with the ability to tell someone else what
they see/have learned/use is wrong? the definition of what shazad stated is
one the 1000's of programmers from degreed programs grew up with...

but in the end, who really gives a d*n, and why does someone spend this much
time on this topic? was there something in the original poster's
question/post that got under someone's skin?

-peace..

It helps ... muddy the water because it's wrong.

Scripts are mostly the glue used join OS commands together. Languages
used for scripting are mostly HLLs (High Level Languages) whereas most
compiled languages are third-generation. And aren't always compiled.
