    I'm wondering what the majority of people use as their primary scripting language for quick tasks?

      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?

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

          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.

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

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