For instance, to say python, then java, then c++ seems backwards in terms of writing scripts because c++ is much more suited for that. But it's also backwards for the purpose of writing applications, because they're all around the same place, albeit in different ways. It's not so simple as saying "here are these languages, here's where they lie on a scale from bash to haskell", because there is no scale from bash to haskell.
