.Net developers, what is your go-to scripting language?

[Gary Wheeler]

.BATch and VBScript. If I can't do it with those two, I write an app.

Ruby and IronRuby

I don't use scripts. C# on windows forms accomplish most of my quick tasks very efficiently.

For scripting of command line (or similar) tasks I use Perl.

[Brad Stiles]

BAT, Perl, Powershell, depending on the task. Currently reading: "The Prince", by Nicolo Machiavelli

[Karl Sanford]

I find that I've been using Powershell more and more. I really like being able to work with .NET objects in script to quickly test something as I work on a larger project, rather than firing up another solution to test 3 lines of code.

Powershell, Javascript - very much depends on what needs doing

[David Lumm]

Usually some kind of shell scripting, whether Batch or BASH. I keep meaning to try Python out, but have just never gotten round to it.

Er, I can't think of a funny signature right now. How about a good fart to break the silence?

[loctrice]

I use gentoo at home, and m$ at work. This leads to vbs,vba, and perl. I prefer perl.

[wbaxter37]

Ruby. I still resort to DOS batch files, but that's because I've used it since it first appeared.

Here lately, I've been using LINQPad for all my local machine scripting needs. It's fast, light weight, and because I have a license, it has full intellisense support. It's also much faster than firing up VisualStudio to create a new C# project. Regardless, I don't "script" anything. Why script something when I can get full intellisense and debugging support in LINQPad or VisualStudio?

Now that I know PowerShell, it's PowerShell all the way. I keep a lib of tools handy on my LiveMesh and use this to control everything.

[James Lonero]

I second this.

[Member 4457245]

PowerShell. Written in .Net, it allows script to instantiate any .Net classes as script variables, including WPF for UI.
