As yet another entry in the "which language is best" meme, I provide this quote-ful diatribe by an ex-Amazonian.
"C++ is the dumbest language on earth, in the very real sense of being the least sentient."
"Java is simultaneously the best and the worst thing that has happened to computing in the past 10 years."
"There are "better" languages than Perl — hell, there are lots of them, if you define "better" as "not being insane"."
"If languages are bicycles, then Awk is a pink kiddie bike with a white basket and streamers coming off the handlebars, Perl is a beach cruiser (remember how cool they were? Gosh.) and Ruby is a $7,500 titanium mountain bike."
