Quite often, the terms script and scripting are used as synonyms for program and programming, respectively.
The inventor of the Perl programming language, Larry Wall, tried to explain the difference between script and program in a humorous way.
:D
Love the Ada Lovelace example.
Please correct me if I'm wrong (likely) but the way I now understand it is that a program ends up being compiled, whereas a script has come to mean any language that requires an interpreter to be running, and halfway between that are the semi-compiled languages though the compiling step would make me consider them programming languages rather than scripting languages.
Thus: C, Pascal etc. are programming languages - they need to be compiled before they will do anything.
VBScript, Javascript, php etc. are scripting languages - they use an interpreter to parse a text file in real time.
Then there's the semi-compiled languages that are compiled into an intermediate format (e.g. Bytecode) but still require a runtime component to interpret the semi-compiled "program". I believe .NET, java and python are current examples of this approach.
Yes, Lawrie, as far as I know you're correct.
Just a detail: the original pascal was a semi-compiled language. The compiler used to generate the so-called "P-code", later interpreted during runtime.
Then arrived Borland Turbo Pascal... ;)
