SCRIPTING LANGUAGES ARE an important element in the current landscape of programming languages. A key feature of a scripting language is its ability to integrate with a system language. 7 This integration takes two main forms: extending and embedding. In the first form, you extend the scripting language with libraries and functions written in the system language and write your main program in the scripting language. In the second form, you embed the scripting language in a host program (written in the system language) so that the host can run scripts and call functions defined in the scripts; the main program is the host program. In this setting, the system language is usually called the host language.
