That was interesting. Too bad they didn't know Python, even though it
is becoming very popular. It also seems that newer features of
JavaScript have been inspired by Python:

And Python was voted both best overall language and best scripting
language by Linux Journal readers.

Another message I got from that, between the lines, is that Perl is a
dead-end. 

I did recently look at io, which one of them mentioned. It's pretty
cool. It just needs some Posix calls...
