Scripting languages are programming languages. Most of the programming languages in use today that once deserved the "scripting" label are complete programming environments from the syntactically, semantically, and library-wise.

At some point "scripting language" may have been used for languages that were suitable only for writing short scripts, but today any language that doesn't require a complex compilation step to run and that provides a read–eval–print loop (REPL) is considered good enough for scripting.
