Line 66: :Both [[Perl]] and [[Rexx]] started as real programming languages and both are considered to be scripting languages. Neither has a line by line interpreter. Rexx has a compiler. [[User:Chatul\|Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul]] ([[User talk:Chatul\|talk]]) 13:20, 18 April 2021 (UTC) : Good points. One more: The description in the first sentence of the intro -- "... used to manipulate, customize, and automate the facilities of an existing system" -- seems rather constrictive. E.g., if I use awk/gawk to reduce some data, does that fit into that ~~desription~~description? : A personal observation: "I know what a scripting language is, I just can't describe it."
