Best/favorite scripting language so far?

It seems like Python and Lua are still up there, but I want to know your educated, rational opinions.

I like most of FIOC, about the only thing I found bizarre about it is how broken its lexical scoping is. It still is a very productive language. What I'm most impressed about it is how well thought out and natural is its concept of modules and how it got named parameters right.

I don't like ruby for the simple fact that its author seems confused and couldn't make his mind up on how to do higher order functions and thus it's left with blocks, process, lambdas, all with slightly different semantics.

Javascript and Ruby, no other scripting languages need exist.

I prefer compiled languages for performance reasons and static typing is easier to debug. If I had to pick a scripting language though, I'd go for Python.

Lua and Perl without a doubt. Maybe Ruby. I don't use it enough to really know.

FIOC is great. Makes every other scripting language obsolete, which in turn pisses off the fanboys of those other languages. So you get to right code in the finest language and troll retards without even trying as an added bonus.

But can you left code.

LISP or SH.
sh because I like to copy-paste my CLI sessions into scripts.
Lisp because it isn't slow as fuck, macros, isn't heterosyntax.
Might as well write it in a proper compiled language for anything else.
