I want to learn a scripting language. I want something more advanced than bash (which I already use extensively).

Python, Ruby or Perl? Why?
>>

Python
>>
>>52479493
Python, because it is easier for noobs and Perl is gibberish.

Ruby if you plan on using it for web stuff, Python if you plan on using it for anything else.

>Why?
Because turns out Ruby isn't as good as everyone thought it was, but still has the best tools for anything web-related, Rails in particular. Python is good at almost everything, while perl is... perl.
>>
>>52479493
Ruby, because it has better implementations than Python has.
>>

>it has better implementations
What the fuck does that even mean for a scripting language? If the difference in performance between Ruby and Python are large enough to matter for your project, then you shouldn't be using either of them anyway.

Perl is the best. Great libraries, the best regular expression support, intuitive syntax, fits many different programming styles (TMTOWTDI philosophy).

python

ruby is not even on the meme
