Scripting is making a robot do boring stuff we don't want to do. π€
That might be seen as an overly simple definition, and it probably is. But most definitions I've read online are overly formal and hard to grok.
Examples
- π¨π»βπ» IT guy writes a bash script to update user groups
- π Manager uses a VBA script to crunch data in Excel
- π Programmer uses Python to rename a bunch of folders
Comparison
Scripting | Programming | |
---|---|---|
π€ Difficulty | Easy to learn and use | Challenging |
π Compilation | Usually interpreted | Usually compiled |
ποΈ Performance | Slower, more memory | Faster, less memory |
