A “scripting language” (also script language or extension language) is a programming language that allows control of one or more software applications. Usage of a scripting language often signifies a different approached used by a computer to translate the software into “machine code”: Typically software is compiled by the developer before being installed or delivered, where as a scripting language commonly requires the end-user or a server computer to include an interpreter which converts the script into machine code each time it is run.
