Since when has the manner in which a program is "executed" decided if it is a scripting langauge? C is translated into assembler which is interpreted by the hardware in my Intel processor, does that make C or assembler scripting langauges? No. What if I use the Bochs interpreter? Still no. You wouldn't make a distinction between imperative, functional and logic programming languages based on their execution mode, but rather in their approach to expressing relationships and algorithms, it is the same with scripting languages.
