Character Sketches
Lua
The compact Swiss army knife that fits in any pocket. Lua is so small and embeddable that it powers everything from World of Warcraft to nginx configs without anyone noticing.
Python
Everyone's first love and nobody's last. Python's beauty is the beauty of clarity, indentation is structure, the most readable way is the correct way, and a newcomer can read someone else's code without a tutorial.
