Definition of scripting
What's scripting? How is it different from programming? The best definition I found is Ward Cunningham's: I'm interested in scripting as a style of programming instead of a style of languages. You're writing the program to serve YOUR needs, not somebody else's needs so there's a different set of trade offs. We get caught up in serving the needs of our customers that we forget to meet our own needs. (emphasis mine).

BTW, if you don't know Ward, he's the "Wiki father", and one of the greatest authorities on Design Patterns.
