He he, putting a ordered binary relationship between languages is always a hard task :-)
One common def is related to the number of machine instruction generated for one statement.
"System programming languages like C tend to be strongly typed and medium level (5-10 instructions/statemtn). Scripting languages like Tcl tend to be weaky typed and very high level (100-1000 instructions/statements)." from John K. Ousterhout ("Scripting: Higher Level Programming for the 21st Century").

Cheers,
Alexandre
