here's one useful way to look at things:
"Unlike mainstream component programming, scripts usually
do not introduce new components but simply "wire" existing
ones. Scripts can be seen as introducing behavior but no
new state. /.../ Of course, there is nothing to stop a
"scripting" language from introducing persistent state -- it
then simply turns into a normal programming language."
