There's no difference between programmers and scriptors Ed.


Really? No Difference? So a C programmer is a scripter?

I think the argument may be that scripters are a subset of programmers. All scripters are programmers, but not all programmers are scripters.

And while technically that may have some validity, but even then there are clear distinctions. There's even different definitions of programmer.

Not all programmers are programmers.

In this case the first definition is one who writes computer programs and the second definition is one whose profession is computer programming.

I would argue that most AppleScripters have careers and professions that are not related to programming, but write scripts to accomplish specific tasks and to refer to them as programmers is misleading, imprecise and inaccurate.
