:This is a case where usage isn't well correlated to the syntax and semantics of the language, but depends largely on its history. Should Wikepedia be imposing a more logical nomenclature, or sticking to the actual usage in the literature? Wouldn't the former be [[WP:OR|OR]]? -- [[User:Chatul|Shmuel (Seymour J.)

::@[[User:Chatul|Chatul]] What's the problem? You list two items that are both about scripts. What is the distinction you are trying to highlight? Bourne shell was designed to write shell scripts. Perl was designed to write Perl scripts. I think there is a complexity difference between Bourne shell and Perl, but how is that relevant to whether they both are designed and used for writing scripts? ... A scripting language is a language which a script can be written in, right? ... I'm not familiar with [[CLIST]] but the article does not contain the text "script" ... not familiar with [[Rexx]] but it seems to be a scripting language used for writing scripts.

:::The problem is that there is a camp that wants to restrict the term to simple languages, while in the literature the term is not so limited.
:::CLIST is an IBM language that IBM originally developed to script [[time sharing option|TSO]] commands and subcommands. CLIST uses & in roughly the same way that Unix shells use $. The [[OS/360]] version of CLIST was not Turing complete, but IBM greatly extended it in [[MVS|OS/VS2]] Release 3.6. -- [[User:Chatul|Shmuel (Seymour J.)
