Scripting languages basically can be executed without being compiled. Scripts are interpreted by interpreters. Interpreters use line by line execution. Compilers convert high-level language into machine code whereas interpreters generate an intermediate code and execute it. For example, Python Interpreter was written in C language. So all the systems which can compile C language can also run python. Based on where scripts are used there are two types 1. Client-side scripting 2. Server-side scripting.
Here are some of the widely used scripting languages and their uses.
JavaScript
Javascript is Client-Side scripting language which is widely used currently.
- Machine Learning
- Web app development
- Cross-site scripting
The main advantage of Javascript-based apps is the portability(Cross Platform).
PHP
PHP is a server-side scripting language. It is one of the easiest and fastest scripting languages.
- User Authentication
- Plugin creation
- PHP Daemons
- Adding Graphics
- REST Services
- Web development (Backend)
PHP can also be used for running scripts on systems. Eg: Automatic downloading and storing from remote resources.
Perl
Perl is one of the oldest languages used today. It is very useful in Linux environments. It has powerful regular expressions. It is a server-side scripting language.
- Used for developing hacking tools
- Nikto(tool)
- Onesixtyone(tool)
- snmpenum(tool)
- adminfinder(tool)
- For sending SQL scripts from the backend to the database.
- For CGI programming
- Network Programming
- System Administration
Python
It is currently the scripting language with many applications. It is also used as a general programming language. It is used for server-side scripting.
- Web development
- Data science
- machine learning
- cryptography
- Artificial Intelligence
- Computer Vision
- Game development
- Web Crawler
- Web Frameworks
- Natural language processing
- Operating system Design
Learning programming languages along with uses helps in developing innovative ideas.
Good Luck !...

I would say getting a basic level of programming skills is important/required irrespective of the language chosen (at-least in modern languages.) Even though there are some better possibilities in terms of flexibility in some languages, mainly they do differ in syntax which you can master once you get into it. c# scripting language is easy to learn. And I prefer to read more information about it, especially about new trends in 2020!
