what is the cool scripting language to use if perl is a mess, python is fioc and ruby is gay?

I suggest you perl. Perl is just a mess as long as you can't get it.

my $op = 'a fag';

print "Op is $op";

you see? Makes perfectly sense to me!

This is the only thing you need for scripting. For anything else, use a fucking compiler. You can even use Java or C#, they are faster than interpreted languages.

Perl is a mess, FIOC is FIOC, Ruby is gay, MOON is MOON, PHP is god damn it, Tcl is strings.
The so-called scripting languages universally suck.

Is there an easily embeddable ML? Or at least some language with nice typing and pattern matching? Don't want to use Scheme...

Scripting is about the script, not the language. All of these languages get the fucking job done; use whichever you know best.

I find myself writing one-off data processing stuff fairly regularly. This is quite unwieldy in all the languages I currently use (C, Lisp, Python, UNIX shell (yes, it is)). Would learning Perl for these simple thingies make sense? Should I go for Perl5 or Perl6?

Bash is truly disgusting to program in. The syntax makes me puke.

Learn how to write shell scripts and C.
Anything else is not needed.

Shell scripts and C are not needed either, but they make your life easier compared to assembly. Extrapolate.

I'm going to write a futuristic scripting language. A cross between bash (but the commands would be internal to avoid forking overhead) and something apl . It would have a suitably terse syntax to become popular with autists

Bash builtin commands don't fork (an external process).

If you think Perl is ugly, you don't know how to use it.

if you hate fioc so much then just use lambdas, ``faggot''

you'll come crawling back to indentation soon enough!

That's not a builtin commands you dweeb. I really think you need to learn how to read.

That's not a builtin. Perhaps you should actually take the time to read the bash man page before posting another idiotic response.

Ignore everyone who says such things. If you're going to be writing throwaway code, it really doesn't matter what you use. If you find a language enjoyable, use it. Just know the pros and cons of the language you use and at least employ some common sense.
