Depends on how you use the word "script". For many people, a script has to be interpreted, or at least *feel* interpreted (hard to draw the line between compiled and interpreted these days).

I'd say, I'm within that group.

The line for an "user" is easy to draw: If I need to first call a compiler, it's explicitly compiled. Otherwise it's interpreted (optionally by a just-in-time compiler). :-)

Also, for many people, a script has to do "automation tasks". If you are in either of these groups (which has a huge overlap, and which I think includes most people), then probably Jay does not have a script.

Many automation tasks (I've done) can be put into relatively simple, mostly linear code, with not many, if any, functions. Somehow, I got "simple programs" = "scripts", from my infant steps in Linux. :-)

Some people have a less restrictive sense of what "script" means.

In the end, depending on the fact if script or program is important to the discussion, it's better to clarify terms beforehand. For helping Jay, it doesn't matter.

In any case, I am kind of surprised that so little fuss is being made over the fact that whatever Jay has is in Go! There is no formal support for running compiled Go programs in PASE yet, though some of the more intrepid Go enthusiasts have done it.

I guess that even Go supports linking code into a static binary. With that, I see no need to make fuss about Go binaries running in PASE. :-) (My personal opinion is that there are so many programming or scripting languages emerging… Go, Rust, Python, Ruby, whatever comes to mind. Sometimes I feel that some of that stuff is just overhyped and inflated by whatever sources in the internet are praising this stuff.)
