what is the the difference between scripting and programming? between scripting languages and "real" programming languages? compiled vs. interpreted? this all is very fuzzy. "scripting" often gets used deprecatingly by guys who think only c++ is a real programming language. hm... but there are interpreters for c/c++ too for example. what is it then? there also are more and more jit compiled languages (c#,...) where the line between compiled and interpreted is very blurry.

i don't think that lite-c is unprofessional. to me it's more a matter of proprietary vs. non-proprietary like i already mentioned above.
