Holy 2000s! Are we really still doing “programming” vs “scripting”?

Why wouldn't we? It's still a very relevant distinction, even if the terminology is a bit weird (since scripting is by definition programming). A programmer has very different needs when he writes a script to automate some server tasks versus a complex piece of software. It makes perfect sense that different tools will be more or less effective at meeting those different needs.
