    I selected all the checkboxes (HTML insofar as I have created various applications that use HTML as a front end, but I guess then you should also include XML, SVG, XUL and all the other front end stuff), so I guess a little filler on the "Other" option is necessary: Pascal (back in the DOS days), (various forms of) Assembly (Commodore 64, Sun Spark, little x86), Visual Basic (of which I am suitably ashamed), (a little) PHP, Flash/Flex/ActionScript, and (a single program in) Brainf**k. Do BATCH files count? ;-)

    You can't argue the status of a programming language based on whether it's interpreted or not. At some level all programming languages are interpreted. Mark up languages are not programming languages, we can agree, but Java, C#, and JavaScript are very much programming languages. Of course the distinction becomes blurred when the programming language is XML based (XSLT).

    And java is only compiled to a bytecode, it's code is extractable from the .jar file.
    .jar files are actually archives, with the bytecodes and junk(pics, music) as separate files inside it.
    It's status as a programming language is debatable.
    Not debated, however. A scripting language is generally defined as one designed specifically for rapid development over power, which Java is not. Python, too, is often considered a programming language rather than a scripting language, despite being interpreted (although it does also compile to bytecode).
