Well, the reason it's called a "scripting language" is because it is usually embedded in a normal programming language's code, such as in Lua interpretation inside of a C program. I don't know how many people are familiar with it, but the reason I started learning Lua (and programming) ~2 years ago was because a world creating game called "Roblox" had Lua as its embedded scripting language, that I began using very often. It's not as often that Lua programs are made as stand-alone programs.

My brother is absolutely obsessed with Roblox. He is always telling me that scripting is a level above programming and I tell him its below. It appears that they aren't so far apart after all

Well, it is "above" in the sense that it's higher level, but not in the sense that it's more complex.
