Just say: some apps support internal scripting either via a custom language or a general purpose language. In some cases a custom language of an app is generalized to be used outside of the original host. [[User:Stevebroshar|Stevebroshar]] ([[User talk:Stevebroshar|talk]]) 18:10, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
:That doesn't say enough. Some scripting languages were never tied to a specific host. Their interpreters have API's that let applications effectively embed them. That is certainly true of [[CLIST]] and [[REXX]]. -- [[User:Chatul|Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul]] ([[User talk:Chatul|talk]]) 19:49, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
::Thanks for that. I know I've oversimplified. But I think what is now several pages of info can be covered sufficiently in a few sentences. I think the current content is overly detailed about a relatively small number of implementations when in the real world the landscape is a thousand times more complex. I think a good way to handle the content is to use broader strokes; not get bogged down in the details. Thing is, I've never heard of CLIST or REXX. Not that I know everything, but I question whether they are notable -- whatever that actually means :) I realize it's hard to describe some things without giving examples. But examples do not describe a concept fully while giving the impression that they do. I say [[Keep it simple stupid|KISS]] it.
