I started a new knowledge category today called CompuScriptology. So what is CompuScriptology? It’s basically the analysis, research, study and observation of dynamic computer languages, sometimes known as dynamic scripting languages (as compared to static or compiled languages).  It involves the comparing and contrasting of various computer language functions and syntactical elements — for computer languages such as JavaScript, Perl, PHP, Python, Rebol, and Ruby (in my case).

I was thinking about using the word Scriptology, but a gentleman (Dr. Adam Blatner)  was already using the word Scriptology to talk about the Lore of Writing Systems and Alphabets. Not to mention, that the FileMaker people have a website for FileMaker templates called Scriptology also.

Since I’m very interested in multiple computer languages, some people might call me a polyglot. I was thinking about calling the new knowledge category PolyCompuScriptology, but that failed my terse test.
