I'm writing a script that I realize might be useful for friends, and
that got me to wondering: what scripting languages are most
universally available?
So, you can help: which of these languages are available on your
computer?
Bash/Borne Shell
Awk
Perl
Python/Jython
Ruby/irb
Javascript (i.e. a command-line version like Rhino)
Groovy
BeanShell/PNuts (java interpreters with nifty add on features)
.. suggestions?
I suppose everyone has a browser, so that it could be used for either
a local or remote script in java and javascript. I leave Java/C/C++
etc out because the are not "scripting" languages but "systems"
languages. Interpretive is fine.
