The main four scripting languages are, in alphabetical order (case-insensitive you Unix tards lol):
Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby
Now we all know they have different strengths/uses/downbacks/shitsuxfag/etc. In this thread you post which of these do you know, and out of these you know, in what order do you like them, regardless of their uses (i.e. this doesn't mean you have to put the most powerful one first if you don't like it that much for some reason).

Why is the Variant type in gambas? Haven't they learned that Variant is the bane of VB?

You're kidding right? How do you implement a generic container class without variants?
The bane of VB IMO is having a different syntax for assigning objects, which makes creating the aforementioned container a PITA because you have to have an IsObject check in every single method that does assignment. For example, this is a method from a Tree class I'm implementing:
Public Property Get data() As Variant
If IsObject(data_) Then
Set data = data_
Else
data = data_
End If
End Property
Oh and don't even get me started on all the anal little rules for passing and returning UDTs (aka structs) and the misery of using a language that doesn't understand pointers to access an API written in C++.

NO JSP?
JSP = fully scalable, object-oriented and maintainable internet application for web enterprises
These are not the "main four" scripting languages. For one, lua is way more popular than Ruby, and PHP is never used except by web developers, who don't get to have an opinion.
