Scripting languages are programming languages such as Python, JavaScript, Bash, Perl, and Ruby that are typically interpreted rather than compiled, designed for writing scripts to automate tasks, manipulate data, or control other programs. They emphasize ease of use and rapid development over raw execution speed, making them popular for web development, system administration, and data analysis. Proficiency in one or more scripting languages is a common requirement across many technical job roles.
