Differences are, a script is interpreted by a, well an interpreter
like a shell or a specific porpouse executable program like perl or
python, and executed in real time

source code is 'interpreted' by a compiler to output an executable
program. same thing applies to assembler code.

writing sourcecode is generally regarded as programming or writing a program.
whlie writing a script is regarded as .. writing a script, or writing
a program in such and such scripting language.
