Text of the page (random words):
although this still cannot be executed interactively in contrast python allows the definition of some functions in a single file or to avoid functions altogether and use imperative programming style or even use it interactively print hello world this one line of python code prints hello world no declarative statement like main is required here a scripting language is usually interpreted from source code or bytecode 5 by contrast the software environment interpreter the scripts are written for is typically written in a compiled language and distributed in machine code form scripting languages may be designed for use by end users of a program end user development or may be only for internal use by developers so they can write portions of the program in the scripting language scripting languages typically use abstraction a form of information hiding to spare users the details of internal variable types data storage and memory management scripts are often created or modified by the person executing them 6 but they are also often distributed such as when large portions of games are written in a scripting language notably the google chrome t rex game history edit early mainframe computers in the 1950s were non interactive instead using batch processing ibm s job control language jcl is the archetype of languages used to control batch processing 7 the first interactive shells were developed in the 1960s to enable remote operation of the first time sharing systems and these used shell scripts which controlled running computer programs within a computer program the shell calvin mooers in his trac language is generally credited with inventing command substitution the ability to embed commands in scripts that when interpreted insert a character string into the script 8 multics calls these active functions 9 louis pouzin wrote an early processor for command scripts called runcom for ctss around 1964 stuart madnick at mit wrote a scripting language for ibm s cp cms in 1966 he originally called this processor command later named exec 10 multics included an offshoot of ctss runcom also called runcom 11 exec was eventually replaced by exec 2 and rexx languages such as tcl and lua were specifically designed as general purpose scripting languages that could be embedded in any application other languages such as visual basic for applications vba provided strong integration with the automation facilities of an underlying system embedding of such general purpose scripting languages instead of developing a new language for each application also had obvious benefits relieving the application developer of the need to code a language translator from scratch and allowing the user to apply skills learned elsewhere some software incorporates several different scripting languages modern web browsers typically provide a language for writing extensions to the browser itself and several standard embedded languages for controlling the browser including javascript a dialect of ecmascript or xul types edit scripting languages can be categorized into several different types with a considerable degree of overlap among the types glue languages edit this section does not cite any sources please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources unsourced material may be challenged and removed march 2007 learn how and when to remove this template message scripting is often contrasted with system programming as in ousterhout s dichotomy or programming in the large and programming in the small in this view scripting is glue code connecting software components and a language specialized for this purpose is a glue language pipelines and shell scripting are archetypal examples of glue languages and perl was initially developed to fill this same role web development can be considered a use of glue languages interfacing between a database and web server but if a substantial amount of logic is written in script it is better characterized as simply another software component not glue glue languages are especially useful for writing and maintaining custom commands for a command shell 12 smaller programs than those that are better implemented in a compiled language 13 wrapper programs for executables like a batch file that moves or manipulates files and does other things with the operating system before or after running an application like a word processor spreadsheet data base assembler compiler etc 14 scripts that may change 15 rapid application development of a solution eventually implemented in another usually compiled language citation needed glue language examples applescript coldfusion dcl embeddable common lisp ecl erlang exec exec2 jcl coffeescript julia jscript and javascript lua m4 perl 5 and raku php powershell pure python rebol red rexx netrexx ruby scheme tcl unix shell scripts ksh csh bash sh and others vbscript work flow language xslt macro languages exposed to operating system or application components can serve as glue languages these include visual basic for applications wordbasic lotusscript corelscript hummingbird basic quickscript rexx saxbasic and winwrap basic other tools like awk can also be considered glue languages as can any language implemented by a windows script host engine vbscript jscript and vba by default in windows and third party engines including implementations of rexx perl tcl python xslt ruby modern pascal delphi and c a majority of applications can access and use operating system components via the object models or its own functions other devices like programmable calculators may also have glue languages the operating systems of pdas such as windows ce may have available native or third party macro tools that glue applications together in addition to implementations of common glue languages including windows nt dos and some unix shells rexx modern pascal php and perl depending upon the os version wsh and the default script engines vbscript and jscript are available programmable calculators can be programmed in glue languages in three ways for example the texas instruments ti 92 by factory default can be programmed with a command script language inclusion of the scripting and glue language lua in the ti nspire series of calculators could be seen as a successor to this the primary on board high level programming languages of most graphing calculators most often basic variants sometimes lisp derivatives and more uncommonly c derivatives in many cases can glue together calculator functions such as graphs lists matrices etc third party implementations of more comprehensive basic version that may be closer to variants listed as glue languages in this article are available and attempts to implement perl rexx or various operating system shells on the ti and hp graphing calculators are also mentioned pc based c cross compilers for some of the ti and hp machines used with tools that convert between c and perl rexx awk and shell scripts to perl modern pascal vbscript to and from perl make it possible to write a program in a glue language for eventual implementation as a compiled program on the calculator citation needed editor languages edit a number of text editors support macros written either using a macro language built into the editor e g the semware editor tse vi improved vim or using an external implementation e g xedit or both e g kedit sometimes text editors and edit macros are used under the covers to provide other applications e g filelist and rdrlist in cms job control languages and shells edit main article shell script a major class of scripting languages has grown out of the automation of job control which relates to starting and controlling the behavior of system programs 16 in this sense one might think of shells as being descendants of ibm s jcl or job control language which was used for exactly this purpose many of these languages interpreters double as command line interpreters such as the unix shell or the ms dos command com others such as applescript offer the use of english like commands to build scripts gui scripting edit with the advent of graphical user interfaces a specialized kind of scripting language emerged for controlling a computer these languages interact with the same graphic windows menus buttons and so on that a human user would they do this by simulating the actions of a user these languages are typically used to automate user actions such languages are also called macros when control is through simulated key presses or mouse clicks as well as tapping or pressing on a touch activated screen these languages could in principle be used to control any gui application but in practice their use is limited because their use needs support from the application and from the operating system there are a few exceptions to this limitation some gui scripting languages are based on recognizing graphical objects from their display screen pixels these gui scripting languages do not depend on support from the operating system or application when the gui provides the appropriate interfaces as in the ibm workplace shell a generic scripting language e g orexx can be used for writing gui scripts application specific languages edit application specific languages can be split in many different categories i e standalone based app languages executable or internal application specific languages postscript xml gscript as some of the widely distributed scripts respectively implemented by adobe ms and google among others include an idiomatic scripting language tailored to the needs of the application user likewise many computer game systems use a custom scripting language to express the programmed actions of non player characters and the game environment languages of this sort are designed for a single application and while they may superficially resemble a specific general purpose language e g quakec modeled after c they have custom features that distinguish them emacs lisp while a fully formed and capable dialect of lisp contains many special features that make it most useful for extending the editing functions of emacs an application specific scripting language can be viewed as a domain specific programming language specialized to a single application extension embeddable languages edit a number of languages have been designed for the purpose of replacing application specific scripting languages by being embeddable in application programs the application programmer working in c or another systems language includes hooks where the scripting language can control the application these languages may be technically equivalent to an application specific extension language but when an application embeds a common language the user gets the advantage of being able to transfer skills from application to application a more generic alternative is simply to provide a library often a c library that a general purpose language can use to control the application without modifying the language for the specific domain javascript began as and primarily still is a language for scripting inside web browsers however the standardization of the language as ecmascript has made it popular as a general purpose embeddable language in particular the mozilla implementation spidermonkey is embedded in several environments such as the yahoo widget engine other applications embedding ecmascript implementations include the adobe products adobe flash actionscript and adobe acrobat for scripting pdf files tcl was created as an extension language but has come to be used more frequently as a general purpose language in roles similar to python perl and ruby on the other hand rexx was originally created as a job control language but is widely used as an extension language as well as a general purpose language perl is a general purpose language but had the oraperl 1990 dialect consisting of a perl 4 binary with oracle call interface compiled in this has however since been replaced by a library perl module dbd oracle 17 18 other complex and task oriented applications may incorporate and expose an embedded programming language to allow their users more control and give them more functionality than can be available through a user interface no matter how sophisticated for example autodesk maya 3d authoring tools embed the maya embedded language or blender which uses python to fill this role some other types of applications that need faster feature addition or tweak and run cycles e g game engines also use an embedded language during the development this allows them to prototype features faster and tweak more freely without the need for the user to have intimate knowledge of the inner workings of the application or to rebuild it after each tweak which can take a significant amount of time the scripting languages used for this purpose range from the more common and more famous lua and python to lesser known ones such as angelscript and squirrel ch is another c compatible scripting option for the industry to embed into c c application programs see also
