You got the wrong idea. Cygwin isn't a scripting language. It is a distribution of Unix tools that run on the windows desktop.

It has a sh.exe and a bash.exe, which allows you to run UNIX shell scripts on windows and copy that code to a UNIX machine and also execute it there.

Make sense.

It has a perl and a python distribution in it.
