| Feb 28, 2014 at 9:15 | comment | added | Debra | Whether or not "allowed", I find that I get better answers to scripting questions on SE, because it is more programming-oriented. As for "batch files are just lines of commands, freely editable" etc., well, programs in any language are also just lines of commands in that language, and compiling is not always necessary -- so this is a meaningless distinction. One can write very complex scripts in Powershell, for example, that rival what would be done with a programming language. I think that distinguishing by the need to compile is counter-productive. | |

| Feb 24, 2014 at 9:14 | comment | added | Daniel Beck Mod | I agree that the linked question should be considered on topic. There's no indication that it goes beyond what we consider on topic. | |
| Feb 24, 2014 at 9:13 | comment | added | Daniel Beck Mod | Scripting (as in system administration, basic automation, and similar tasks) questions are fine on SU, because scripting can be a power user kind of task. You'll rarely find them writing C. But the same languages can be used to write e.g. huge web applications, so the language alone is not enough to determine whether it's on topic. It really depends on whether the task you want to solve is reasonably related to the "power user" kinds of things for which we consider scripting to be on topic. A user asking for help with Django on SU is probably on the wrong site. | |
