Hi, Basically, all scripting languages are programming languages. The theoretical difference between the two is that scripting languages do not require the compilation step and are rather interpreted. For example, normally, a C program needs to be compiled before running whereas normally, a scripting language like JavaScript or PHP need not be compiled.

Python is widely used without a compiler, but the main implementation of CPython needs a compiler. Same goes for JavaScript as well. So the deployment is also the major consideration because we can design both compiler or interpreter for one language according to our need.

Programming languages need a compiler for convert their code into native machine code, Scripting languages donā€™t require to be compiled rather they are interpreted. Means scripting languages used an interpreter to convert their code into native machine code
