Scripting languages are a type of programming language. Scripting languages are interpreted, meaning that you can modify the code while it's running and have instant feedback. Compiled languages, however, you cannot do this with; the advantage of a compiled language is that it will be faster.

scripting language is a subset of programming language which is executed or compiled on demand or ahead of time like , JavaScript in a VM e.g V8 engine in chrome. Does not require compilation It is platform independent, you can run JavaScript in nearly any platform. you can't make a computer executable with this. scripting languages are easier to learn and code. easy to maintain In programming languages you need to compile the language. compiled languages are generally faster and more powerful giving your access to directly control memory. you can make an executable file with this. a little difficult to maintain http://www.gcreddy.com/2013/09/scripting-languages-vs-programming.html https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17253545/scripting-language-vs-programming-language
