For me scripting language is higher level too, but not on a language level,
but more on an usage level.

IOW scripting languages are used to connect other systems (data from one
program to another with minimal transformation, perform
nightly jobs) etc. That's where the name comes from, replaying a fixed
script of actions.

One could probably discuss if something as python and php are really
scripting languages.

I do realize that definition is outdated and does not really apply to
current use, but I haven't been able to distil anything more from current
use except the fact that languages that want to be regarded as easy to use
OR are interpreter based describe themselves as scripting languages.

One way or the other, I don't think they have a fixed place in the
"higher/lower" language spectrum.
