scripts are interpreted (also true if they are precompiled to bytecode), while
C is compiled into actual machine language. other than that there is no real
difference, whatever you can do in C you can do with a script (with varying
degree depending on your scriptlanguage/interpreter etc)

the only real difference is that script languages can be designed specificilly
for a task, and made as simple as possible at the same time so "designers"
(not "pogrammers") can edit them. (very common in larger development teams)
