I do not know, if you have yet taken compiler classes, but you should reread facts about programming languages.
Dlls: These mostly exist in Windows Environments, a programming language does not need a windows compatible compiler to be a programming language. There even exist circumstances where you actually have NO external libraries (think microcontrollers).
We had real programming languages before multiprocessing. Injecting Code is btw. possible with AutoIt.
Inline assembler is also something which does not qualify you for being a real programming language.

Well perhabs you noticed the "XD" in my post, i hope you did.
I do know the real facts about programming languages. But for me as a programmer who's programming under the windows environment its essential to be able to code own dlls or use inline assembler. We are not talking about microcontrollers or other operating systems. Imo AutoIt is not a programming language, just like PHP isn't one.
But what should I say, if AutoIt is described as "scripting language" even on it's developer's page. AutoIt does not fit in any of the X GL specifications, in my opinion.
A scripting language imo, is a language controlling a program or an application. And thats what AutoIt does... the AutoIt language is just controlling AutoIt, the kernel of it, or whatever, to execute several commands.
