But isn't that really incorrect? Do we not define scripting languages as those that are intepreted at run-time ... And that assm and machine code are not by definition? In which case c/c++ aren't interpreted at run-time only compile time which wouldn't make them a scripting language even technically?
Oh I definitely agree with what M said because although your binary instructions are read in from the executable file, and then stored in memory, there is no 'interpreting' that needs to be done at runtime, because everything is already at the lowest level.
I was just saying there are some interesting parallels. Not only is a script something that must be read in at runtime and then interpreted, a script is also a bunch of pre-defined commands, just strung together in a sequence in order to do something. In that light, you *are* scripting together binary instructions with a high level language, via the more literal use of the word 'script'. But I think we understand each other anyway
