Python and Ruby are great choices for small or medium-size persnal
programs. Their great advantages are:
1) Associative arrays (hashes or dictionaries)
2) Excellent list/array management
3) Complete memory management
4) Excellent features for using objects properly
The amount of time you save compared to C and C++ is worth a fair bit of
learning curve, IMHO.
