There's interpreters/runtimes for C? At least that's the go-to definition for scripting languages.

  I think the point was merely that JavaScript is obviously not the "universal scripting language" and claiming it is demonstrates not just hubris but ignorance. That said, I have tons of little one-off utilities I launch with "go run random-thing.go" because I don't care about the second or two it takes to compile, and if C were my everyday language I'm sure I'd have a compile-and-run wrapper handy. At that point, it's effectively a scripting language, right?

    Which scripting language has a better claim to being universal? JavaScript runs on billions of diverse systems worldwide, both browser, server and CLI.
