At one time, I was going to mention JavaScript, and then I showed this thread to a good friend of mine. Yes, that's right, consider if you will, JavaScript.

You get the most expressive and powerful OO environment anywhere, complete with a module system, filesystem, db access modules, socket I/O, and easy integration with the web for things like building remote admin interfaces and web services for cross-system interconnection. And, chances are pretty good you already know a little JavaScript. - Eric > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Victor Villa <[email protected]> > Date: Mon, Nov 8, 2010 at 10:23 AM > Subject: scripting languages > To: Provo Linux Users Group <[email protected]> > > > Greets, > > I recently shifted career focus from web dev to sys admin. > > As I learn Bash i'm finding more and more that knowledge of a scripting > language is needed, though i'm seeing some talk about PERL and some talk > Python. > > If my work environment really hasn't taken advantage of a scripting language > (nothing predefined), which should I choose?
