Just what is the point of the question? What conclusions will
your friend be drawing if the answer is "yes, it's a scripting
language" and what conclusions will he/she draw if the answer
is the opposite?
Or could you instead just get your friend to define precisely what
"scripting language" really means to him/her? Then instead of
arguing about something without defining our terms -- which is
never very productive -- we can address the real issue directly.
