Programming is not. Scripting is.

• loup-vaillant 17y ago
  And, what is the difference between programming and scripting? I don't see any fundamental one. Or, if you see programming and scripting as the two ends of a spectrum, how would you describe such a spectrum, and where would you put the limit? I personally do see a spectrum: programming being for elites, and scripting being for the newbies. But as programming literacy spreads, what you would call "programming" now is more and more likely to become "scripting". This is not really satisfactory. I would prefer a more timeless description.
