Python

Python is a remarkably powerful dynamic programming language that is used in a wide variety of application domains. Python is often compared to Tcl, Perl, Ruby, Scheme or Java. 

Some of its key distinguishing features include:
•very clear, readable syntax
•strong introspection capabilities
•intuitive object orientation
•natural expression of procedural code
•full modularity, supporting hierarchical packages
•exception-based error handling
•very high level dynamic data types
•extensive standard libraries and third party modules for virtually every task
•extensions and modules easily written in C, C++ (or Java for Jython, or .NET languages for IronPython)
•embeddable within applications as a scripting interface
