Author here. A few points make buzz a “scripting language” in my view:
- runs in a VM
- garbage collected
- high level
- “simple” meaning there’s only a handful of concepts to understand to use it
It’s true that we’re not used to scripting languages having a type system. But its a trend that is catching on: python has types, php too and typescript is at its peak in popularity to name a few.
