Scripting languages may mean interpreted, and those include Javascript, HTML, Bash, Python, Ruby, Perl, make, awk, sed, Regexp engines embedded in grep, vi(m)'s config language, ... the list goes on and on and becomes esoteric at times. It's unclear to me why some might be chosen for elimination and not others. But I hope they go down this path while simultaneously producing ever worse keyboards; I need more people in my organization to push back and select a Linux based laptop for the good of those of us who have resisted the org's desire to optimize for IT rather than for those of us producing the code that provides the services we sell. Devs with Macs are almost cliche. I'd love for that to not be such a ubiquitous way of life.
