What scripting language do you use?
I want to convert a bunch of old projects I wrote in java into a scripting language and then toss em on the web.
What language does what, and which one do you prefer.
I'll name some popular ones I'm interested in, and I hope you guys can guide me to make the right choice.
Javascript, Perl, Ruby, Python
Which one will it be /g/?
pic always related
Be sure to post them on something like GitHub!
Personally, i like bash. But JS and Python are cool.

You'll have the easiest time by far doing them in python

Not gonna lie, I was leaning towards either of those.
I'm not necessarily looking for something easy, but rather something that will make it efficient and work almost everywhere.

Python is really fun to write/learn. If you don't mind sacrificing readability, you can do some really cool shit in line.
I'm still a scrub at python, but I did this on codefights.z = lambda n: "1" if n ==1 else ''.join([''.join([str(len(i[0])),i[1]]) for i in re.findall(r'((\w)\2*)', z(n-1))])
lookAndSaySum = lambda n: sum(int(j) for j in z(n))
It gives you the sum of a look and say sequence after n iterations. There's a dude on there who did it in 30 less characters than that, just to put it out there.

That's really cool. I guess I should have made a python v js thread. I might just up and go for python.

How fucked am I?
