Your definition of "scripting language" is certainly different from mine. I
did a google search to find a definition and found:
http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/glossary/scripting.html
which is consistant with how I would describe a scripting language.
While I agree that anything that may be done with a scripting language may
also be done with a general purpose compiled language, IMHO they are not the
same thing.
