View Poll Results: What is your favorite scripting language?
erm, masterc what exactly is the point in voting for something you know nothing about??? c i snot a scripting language, it is a programming language, and presumably java means javascript, which i'll just change now...
I can't decide - Ruby, Perl, or Python. I love three of them, I just delved into Ruby, I've scripted in Python, and I script with Perl almost everyday at work. Ok I vote for Perl - I speak Perl.
I really like it simple way of organizing the code without the classic "begin ... end" or "{ ... }" delimiters to define blocks in the control flow structures. I don't know if other script languages include it, but python uses tabs or spaces instead. So, it makes the code smaller and you can't write unindented code anymore.
Another reason is that it's a multi platform language and it has lots of modules. And of course it's free as . Finally, it's the base of Zope, which I like a lot
