If you will add variables, functions, conditional statements and loops in your script would you still call it just scripting? I wonder what's really the difference. Isn't it a program is some sequential instructions you write for the computer to execute, regardless if you have to compile the it beforehand or just to be read by an interpreter later? When you wrote a very nice shell script that executes various programs and process their output, would you still call yourself a script kiddie? Aren't these shells also considered as programming languages?
