::I don't think a markup language (like HTML) is interpreted. It's not compiled, but interpreted implies a statement-by-statement sequential process. A markup file doesn't have statements; kinda has to be consumed whole; it's data, not code. [[User:Stevebroshar|Stevebroshar]] ([[User talk:Stevebroshar|talk]]) 15:53, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
:I think most scripts are run via an interpreter. But scripting does not imply use of an interpreter. [[User:Stevebroshar|Stevebroshar]] ([[User talk:Stevebroshar|talk]]) 16:08, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

:::I believe that the first sentence, {{tqq|A number of languages have been designed for the purpose of replacing application-specific scripting languages by being embeddable in application programs. }}, although somewhat awkward, gives a good general idea of what it is all about. Possibly streamline the first paragraph, give a list of examples, and generalize the rest, shortening it in the process.
:::In the [[KISS principle|KISS]] article that you cited, I find the familiar quote {{tq|"Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler"}}; Extension/embeddable languages is a case where the second part applies. -- [[User:Chatul|Shmuel (Seymour J.)
