First you need to ask yourself some questions. Such as:
What do you want to do?
What do you want to be doing 3 years from now?
If I want to look for interesting nuggets of information in vast quantities of text files, log files perhaps, I might use perl.
If I want to write simple programs quickly and easily, Python is great. I'd use it for a small or medium project, maybe up to 6 man months or so, but less keen on a large, serious system.
Excel is superb for certain kinds of problem.
Sometimes the best answer is "use assembler"!
So how do you answer my questions?
