how is a script not a program??

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I always thought that programs had to be compiled to be classed as programs.

That's just the difference between compiled and interpreted.

Interpreted programs such as web apps can very much be programs, after all.

Interpreted languages have classically been called scripting languages, it’s pedantic but it has use and meaning in the industry.

I am telling scripting languages are programming languages. And also html is not even a scripting language

Pedantic correct. The best type of correct.
