- There seems to be much debate over the difference between a 'scripting language' and a real language. Typically scripting languages are dynamically typed, but languages such as Smalltalk and CLOS (which has been around for ever it seems) are also dynamically typed.
- Scripting languages typically are really easy to use due to their simple computational model, which often does not encompas class descriptions or methods.
- Scripting languages typically integrate into one or more applications such as Rexx or ARexx (on the Amiga), or AppleScript (on the Mac).
