  Scripting language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scripting languages (commonly called scripting programming languages or script languages) are computer programming languages initially designed for "scripting" the operations of a computer.
Many languages for this purpose have common properties: they favor rapid development over efficiency of execution; they are often implemented with interpreters rather than compilers; and they are strong at communication with program components written in other languages.
Scripting languages are often designed for interactive use, having many commands that can execute individually, and often have very high level operations (for example, in the classic UNIX shell (sh), most operations are programs themselves).

Scripting programming languages (commonly called scripting languages or script languages) are computer programming languages designed for "scripting" the operation of a computer.
Computer languages are created for varying purposes and tasks — different kinds and styles of programming.
Scripts are typically stored only in their plain text form (as ASCII) and interpreted, or (as with Perl) compiled each time they are invoked.

 Scripting
Scripting languages are designed for different tasks than system programming languages, and this leads to fundamental differences in the languages.
Scripting languages are less efficient than system programming languages, in part because they use interpreters instead of compilers but also because their basic components are chosen for power and ease of use rather than an efficient mapping onto the underlying hardware.
Scripting languages provided less benefit when they were used for the first implementation; this suggests that any reimplementation benefits substantially from the experiences of the first implementation and that the true difference between scripting and system programming is more like a factor of 5-10x than the extreme points of the table.

I suppose one might draw the line by saying that a scripting language is one where the main effect of a program is to drive another system, while in a programming language the program itself is the main action.
