I said:
:- Java isn't a scripting language.

:- You must not be running the same JAVA *interpreter* I run... 

Terry: 

"interpreted" is not a synonym for "scripting language".

If it were then C, BASIC, PL1, PASCAL, and probably COBOL would be
called scripting languages, since they all run or have been
interpreted. 

But lets not debate this further on hacker.  Besides, I don't consider
*this* issue debatable.  Sorry.
