A scripting language is a computer programming language that controls application software. It is also called a script programming language. Scripting languages are used independently of the application and generally in a language different from the application's own, letting end users make the application behave according to their needs. The term scripts comes from the theatrical term script, and early scripting languages were also called batch languages or job control language.

| Job control languages and shells |
