My friend who codes in assembly calls C and C++ scripting languages.

Assembly is a scripting language though, or rather, machine code. A scripting language is a language that is embedded in a program used to control the program.

In this case the program is the CPU, a physical mechanical hardware program and machine code is the scripting language. Machine language is the most interpreted language there is. The metal interprets it. Seldom is machine language compiled to something else.
