Coding = Programming or Scripting.
Programming = Code that is Compiled into Computer Language (Assembly)
Scripting = Code that is Interpreted by a virtual machine.

Scripting provides better diversity ( running on multiple OS without problems )
Programming provides better speed ( doesn't need to be interpreted )

Both are PRACTICAL and both provide their own uses. In speed-critical apps, programming is the choice... In multi-os, scripting is the choice.

Neither are superior to each other... Especially when computers are pretty fast and libraries are plenty... The difference between them aren't that great. ( Graal is compiled, yet runs on various OSes... And GScript is interpreted, but doesn't have a huge difference in speed than if it were compiled )
