A quick script benefits from a low barrier between thought and execution. Use what makes sense for you. I find Elixir surprisingly good as a scripting language ever since the introduction of Mix.install. Because the author likes Elixir and its trivial concurrency story. But they also wrote the above: Use what you want, for them it's Elixir. Why complain about other people's preferences when they aren't actually foisting it on you?
