here's one useful way to look at things: "Unlike mainstream component programming, scripts usually do not introduce new components but simply "wire" existing ones. Scripts can be seen as introducing behavior but no new state. /.../ Of course, there is nothing to stop a "scripting" language from introducing persistent state -- it then simply turns into a normal programming language." -- Clemens Szyperski, in "Component Software": </F>
