    Scripting language is simply a programming language. Normally, a scripting language needs an Interpreter to work (not compiler). Since compilation of the code is not a mandatory step, any change to the code can be immediately reflected.

    Yes, JavaScript is an interpreted language. As I said above, JavaScript needs an interpreter to execute.

    I think both are meant for translating the source code written in some language into machine understandable language.
