Comparing languages is like comparing a sliderule with a ammeter -- one tool isn't "better" than the other, as they have different purposes.  Likewise, programming languages are just tools with different purposes/strengths.  C is good for realtime programs, Java is good for GUI-based applications, Perl is good for quick hacks and utilities, etc.  Schema is good for something...right?  Another consideration is platform or architecture.

Short version: any program is easy with the right language, and no one language is suited for any program.
