4gl usually applies to compiled languages and IIRC means 4th Generation Language.

Thanks for the clarification.
I note that perl / python and even html are usualy refered to as "scripting" languages , as oposed to genral/system/4gl leval languages ?
ie c/c++ is considered a sytem leval language , clarion as a 4GL langage , and java even as a general language ?
"Scripting" languages usually mean those that are interpreted, not compiled. Perl, html, php, etc, are generally interpreted. c/c++, fortran, etc. are generally compiled.
What do they relay mean by scripting and 4GL leval languages ?
