You're making it sound like being a scripting language is a bad thing.

Scripting languages are awesome, though -- they're pretty much the only thing I program in these days.

I don't know how you define scripting languages, but to me, it includes Python, Perl, PHP, Lua, Ruby, etc -- they're all incredibly useful languages, but I still think they're scripting languages.

I still think your definition of scripting languages is a little inaccurate. Unless you use Python as a scripting language every day then I could see where you'd be confused. They're not a bad thing, but that doesn't mean I'm going to call Python a scripting language.

I think PHP can be compiled and used for local applications. Doesn't that make it not a scripting language?

[warz]

calling python a scripting language is similar to being a retard... both are stupid

This settles it:

Like other dynamic languages, Python is often used as a scripting language.

EVERYONE WINS!
