Python -- Pascal for the new millennium :)

/me goes back to reading the new edition of _Programming Ruby_ . . .

And as a disclaimer, yes you should try Python (at least enough until
you get the bad taste in your mouth :).  And Perl, of course.  And give
Ruby a look (or at least glance at the "Poignant Guide" for the star
monkeys; http://poignantguide.net/ruby/).  If you can pick up one of
{Perl,Ruby,Python} and a smattering of C you'll be able to handle most
anything.
