  To paraphrase Clint Eastwood (in one of his Dirty Harry
manifestations, I think), a scripting language has just
got to know its limitations.

   People get into so many arguments about best languages
or the most macho language. Slashdot likes to do silly articles
about "top 10". (Currently javascript, which is not even a
programming language, is #1, based only on how many
searches are done for sample code or tips.) But aren't
there really just two factors to consider?

1) What do you have an affinity for?
2) What do you need in the result?

  Anything that compiles to native code is efficient. Java
and .Net are bloated messes on desktop but just the
ticket server-side. Script is quick and very useful,
but it's interpreted, with limited data types, and therefore
not suited for heavy lifting. They all have their pros and
cons. Well, except maybe Perl. That's just too ugly to be
allowed to survive. :)
