In my opinion, shell scripting is merely "automatizing".
Ok, that would go too much off-topic here IMHO it doesn't matter if a program is compiled or running in an interpreter.

Shell scripting is like getting in your VW and running down to the beach for an afternoon in the sun. It's a big clunky, but eventually gets you there.

Java is like getting chauffeured to the beach and having lunch catered. Gets you there faster and in style.

C++ is like getting on a rocketship and blasting off to some tropical paradise for the weekend. Holy crap what a ride!

They are all "programming", just different levels of programming...

I like tcl but I am far from a good expert on languages.

What, no machine code?! No asm?! No sh (*sh, or otherwise sh, ksh, bash?) No LISP (most powerful OOP?!) No PROLOG?! No Wolfram (sometimes incorrectly called Mathematica, Wolfram Research's own implementation, and most powerful mathematics software in the world, which the manual wouldn't fit on a bookshelf?!) Come on.

Since I requested add machine code, asm, *sh, Wolfram, etc., you can expect otherwise I'll choose something as serious (and non-OOP) as C.

This category isn't 'higher-level,' and asm is a category of programming languages. Sure, there are different ones (Power, ARM, x86, GPU ones, etc.) but they're human-oriented, not machine-code in its own numerical form, let alone patch cables or punch cards (which have terminology.) Not enough programmers of microcode, BIOS, kernels, drivers, assemblers, compilers, shells here to like machine code and asm?

Common Lisp is what I actually voted for, Assembly is on the list as well.

And how about GLSL? I can't be the only one here that has written shaders. Though since it is highly specialized, I don't see it coming out on top...

Speaking as a person who picked C++ over Javascript for a recent project because C++ is easier? I strongly recommend that you do not attempt to have that discussion.

I choose python. I have been able to develop some cool stuff with python. Plus, Django, python's framework is the best framework I have experienced.

Well, I started learning C++, C, and Assembly, so...

Really loving simple, low level languages. So I'll throw in a vote for good 'ol assembly

Anyone who has been in this profession since the 60's, 70's or 80's (i.e. those who've laid the groundwork) will tell you that a 'program' is defined as a set of repeatable instructions for a computer: be it scripted, interpreted, or compiled.

"Is it programming?"

"If it can be written in plain English and ran through Python, it's programming"
