Scriptor of course... The first scriptor must build himself a program to run the scripts on before he can script for it!

Script or Scriptor

    How can one be a scriptor unless there are scripts (and scripting languages) to be written?

    Ciao,
    Gryn

      The great god Larry existed before Perl did. He had a vision of a language and scripted for it before it existed(i.e. the very first script existed in the mind of the great god Larry)! That language was Perl. My point was The (first) Script existed in the scriptors(i.e. the language creators) mind before the script engine gets programmed and without a scriptengine the script don't exist bugfree i.e. it is no script until it is run! By having a vision the scriptor exists before the script in itself. Am I correct?

        Far be it from my humble self to forsake the notion that the Great God Larry came before the first script. But how can you deny the possibility that the script, that is Perl, was so persuasive, that it existed even before it was conceived by our savior, Larry?

        That is to say, Perl was so inevitable of an evolution that Fate took Perl and figuratively shoved it down our savior's Larry, may the camels forever flock in his presence, throat?

        Humbly yours,
        Gryn
