R is lisp variant with a ton of syntactic sugar and vectorization of the basic data types. Calling it a scripting language would indicate that you haven't liked at it much as a language.
Sure, most of the matrix operations and tight loops are implemented in FORTRAN or C++, but that's for performance reasons. The same would happen with Python, and I don't think it would be fair to call Python a scripting language either; it also has a ton of Lisp like qualities.
