I know 3.a versus 3.b will give rise to debate, and for the more esoteric languages, there probably is no preconceived notion of what the language is (like e.g. both Python and AppleScript are considered scripting languages, despite both of them generally being compiled).
Most of the "scripting language" advocates are now trying to escape that name, because it's such a poor fit. The term "dynamic language" is often preferred by those same people. At RubyConf 2006, Matz recommended we call Ruby an "agile language" in his keynote address.
