There is really no difference though. Whether you 'script' away a mundane task with AppleScript or an elaborate C 'program' you still wrote down a series of instructions that were run by a machine. That's the definition of programming in some dictionaries.
I didn’t mean that “script” was an alternative to “program”. I meant that it was a subset of “program”. I tried to convey that by defining “script” as “write a program […]”. So we already agree.
