"Scripting" is a role: an embedded, human-friendly, compact language, also suitable for interactive work / REPL.

(Laugh all you want, but Haskell has a rather nice REPL, and can work as a scripting language.)

Luau gets pretty close to statically typed and AOT compiled now. It's still a scripting language.

Even C or Rust can be a scripting language. You just integrate the toolchain to your app, same as every other scripting language.
