[Thibaut Colar]

Another vote for Python (or Java for large projects).

Perl i use only if the program is less than 5 lines long .., which can 
be a pretty useful program in Perl but sooner or later it will just get 
ugly, I guess it doesn't have to be ... but it will :)

Ruby .... dunno, I don't care for it, I like the "only once way to write 
the code" paradigm, because that also mean "one way to read it" or "one 
way to maintain it" ... so because of that I prefer python than ruby.
