Disadvantages of scripting languages

A script or scripting language is a computer language that does not need the compilation step and is rather interpreted one by one at runtime. It is where the script is written and where instructions for a run-time environment are written. In contrast to programming languages that are compiled first before running, scripting languages do not compile the file and execute the file without being compiled.

• It enables users to view and code that may be prohibited by some companies.
• These languages did not compile the file and interpret it directly, which need to install an interpreter or separate program by the users before running the script.
• Compared with a compiled program, scripting languages may be slow in some situations.
