I am probably off and if this was true it is probably not anymore since interpreted languages are so common and powerful now.

definition wise, that difference was what seperated scripting languages and programming languages, scripts get put together at run time, programming languages get compiled ahead of time, and then html and xml are exactly what they say, markup languages which are basically just a way of formatting data and do not involve logic or functionality. I thought Java counted as a programming language and compiled by the java virtual machine, but I dont really know the details
