  • A scripting language is certainly a programming language. In fact, it can be hard to even draw a line at all. PHP is just-in-time compiled, and has static analysis tools that can catch errors that are normally considered “compile-time” - scripting language or no? Is Typescript compiled? Are JVM bytecode and WASM just very low level scripting languages? Can you write a powerful web application using BASH? What even is Lisp, in this context? “Scripting language” is a poor abstraction, really.
