Quoted from Wikipedia:

A scripting language, script language or extension language is a programming language that allows control of one or more applications and makes the compiler of the language part of the language runtime, and as a result, enables code to be generated dynamically. "Scripts" are distinct from the core code of the application, as they are usually written in a different language and are often created or at least modified by the end-user. Scripts are often interpreted from source code or bytecode, whereas the application is typically first compiled to native machine code.

  1. I was wondering what "enables code to be generated dynamically" means? Isn't code in a scripting language written before it gets run, so how is it generated dynamically?
  2. By definition, is a scripting language always an interpreted language? Conversely, is an interpreted language always a scripting language? They seem to be very close related, or even the same thing.
  3. How is a language non-scripting?

Thanks and regards!
