No, I have always said to use the language that *fits*.
I'd go a step further than this- the language that fits is the one you have
the most experience with. Programmed in perl for 5 years? Its best for
you. Done C for 20? Its best. Doesn't matter what the problem space is.
Sure, perl has built in regular expressins. C has libraries you can
download that do the same thing, an experienced programmer will have them
already, and there's really no difference between writing m/string/string/
vs match(string,string). Need to write a GUI? Sure TCL has TK and Java has
Swing and AWT, but there's plenty of C APIs out there that are cross
platform too. Just use what you know and you're garunteed to finish it
quicker than you will in any other language. I've tried plenty of other
languages, and never really found that I was quicker even in their
specialized problem space than I would have been sticking to what I
previously knew.
