We're not creating a dictionary here.

The whole point of this tagging system is to allow people to easily  
find things.

It doesn't matter if Applescript is really compiled code or not.
It only matters that people would never look for Applescript by going  
to the Compiled Languages section. Never.

Also, if we tag things properly we'll take away a vital pastime of  
programmers everywhere… arguing about the finer details of  
programming language classification.

I'm going to go ahead and tag anything that runs on unix "star_trek  
parents_basement" and anything that runs on windows as "empty_suit  
useless_meetings". That would be entertaining to watch discover ;)
Even better than changing the icon.
