It seems like you consider Java not to be a scripting language. I don't understand why. As far as i can tell java meets all the requirements of a scripting language.

And it seems to me that there is no case at all to say that scripting is going to go away, ever. The fact is that scripting languages solve a whole bunch of problems of traditional software development and because of this they will never go away.

What criteria do i use to say something is a scripting language? The following:

  1. Does not compile to native machine code but instead runs on a virtual machine of some sort.
  2. Does not require (one might even say does not allow) the user to manage memory.
