Only two of the languages featured in that article are scripting languages: Groovy and Lua. The rest are general purpose programming languages, even the bonus languages at the end.
Depends on how you define a scripting language, doesn't it? Personally, I think the distinction is somewhat pointless - that a scripting language is simply a language well suited to scripting, regardless of what else it might be suited to. Python is certainly a good language for scripting, and also for larger-scale development.

Otherwise an interesting article.
