I got to love scripting languages with at very least a proper JIT compiler, since the work a Portuguese startup, where we did too much "rewrite Tcl in C" kind of work. Indeed we ended up weighting between rewriting the whole thing in something else, with .NET being the winner, as Microsoft partners we got early access to ongoing .NET builds, for those that would like to present their "rewritten in .NET" products alongside the .NET public announcement in 2001. Since then for me, the role of scripting languages like Python, Ruby has always been to be better than what I would use Bash for, PHP is what my ISP has, and that is about it.
