What is difference between markup language , scripting language and programming language

Answer 1

Ace, is Python a scripting language or a programming language?

You can do general programming, and although the standard is to interpret, you can compile.

Also Python uses a sort of bytecode, so wouldn't it be between scripting or programming?

And if Python is a scripting language, wouldn't Java by extension also be one?

Answer 2

Ace, then, by extension, Ruby and Javascript (the latter with a little help) would also have to be a general purpose programming language, right?

What would be an example for a true scripting language?

(I know, I look a bit late asking that sort of question, but well, normally you don't mind, you just use it. 😅)
