    I call everything a script. Makes the Java devs real mad. Makes the PM’s super confused.

      A million-line project spread over a hundred files

      It’s a script!

        sqlite is technically just one C source file, so that’s definitely a script.

          The compiled binary being another script.
          Just in a different language.

          Being one source file is the definition of a script?

            The definition of a script is something the computer executes (if it’s a computer script, of course). Everything else people shove into it is extraneous.

            Wait, so the bash script that I broke down into multiple files because I was unable to create and use functions properly, could not be considered a script?

              It’s now just a bash

                Guess, I’ll be bashing my way to completion.

        In a sense it is, before it gets compiled. And yes I’m using the term loosely, please don’t @ me people
