- Perl: great text manipulation functions and with the OO concept there are huge libraries for nearly every purpose
- Java: quick program development, automatic memory management (GC), huge libraries, but not speedy enough because of JVM
- C: best choice for hardware programming, e.g. drivers or realtime programs, also huge libraries, but no ressource management (it's your own job) and no mem protection (you can make dangerous things with pointers)
- C++: mixture of Java and C with the advantages of C, but sometimes a bit messy (like templates and overloading operators)
- php3/4: great for webserver programming
- (A)Rexx: fine IPC programming
- lisp: nice interpreter, but it's a mess of brackets :-)
Enough? :-)
