  Hmm! Where's the RFC on this topic? :-)

  I've been a programmer for 19 years and web programming for the last
  10. At first I was compiling C, C++ and assembler code and uploading
  the executables to the server. Then I went to using server-side
  interpreted languages like python and rebol, and well as javascript,
  which is interpreted client-side. I tell people that I "code in
  python,perl,lisp,javascript etc...". My co-programmer and biz partner
  "codes in perl", but we often refer to "uploading cgi scripts to the
  server".

  I used to have the word 'script', as a 'coder' the term annoyed me,
  but I've gotten used to it.....
