Python Wins "Favorite Scripting Language" Award

The Linux Journal readers apparently suffer the same ambiguity as the
rest of us when it comes to defining what the difference between a
scripting language and a programming language.

They do, however, clearly like Python, which they voted their scripting
language of 2008. PHP, Bash and Perl came in reasonably close on
Python's heels, but 28.9% of those voting voted for Python.
