What's the difference between a scripting language and a programming language?

Some people think that only compiled languages are true programming languages. (Needless to say, they're wrong.)

Needless to say, they're wrong.

Not least because there's no such thing as a "compiled" or "interpreted" language.

Which is to say that it's a property of the tooling rather than the language itself. There's nothing stopping anyone from writing a C interpreter or a Python compiler.
