The choice of language for a particular task often just comes down to personal preference. For example, some people love Ruby, but I find the syntax kind of gross, so I use Python whenever I can.

Ruby is a disgustingly simple language. "Gets.chomp," kill me please.

I kind of love how nasty it is. I could write a dirty as sin script as easily and quickly as I want and it'll run. It's obscene, but fuck if it doesn't work.
