What is the working definition of a "scripting" language?

Freemarker deserves to be included in this group, to be sure. And GSP is 
quite nice, though Groovy-specific.

Tom operates as a Java source-to-source transformation, so technically 
it's not a JVM language, right? It arguably has more in common with 
ANTLR than with any of the many languages that directly target the JVM.

OK, so I had to look up TermWare to see what it was about, and the only 
thing I can say is, why couldn't I find this when I went looking for 
rule-based rewriting software? I think you guys need to do more to gain 
some visibility!
