We use Java almost exclusively (Oracle), although scattered bits of Python and occasional C/C++ thru JNI. Not to start a flame war, but I much prefer Java and I know a lot of other corporations are using it as well (just do a search for "software engineer" on any job site, and count the Java hits vs. C++). Also, Java outperforms Python/Ruby/Perl on all string manipulations from our extensive tests. However, my group likes the philosophies behind Ruby and likes the rapid development of Python when we need a scripting language. Use the Right Tool for the problem; just because you like using a hammer doesn't mean all screwdrivers are stupid. -- Rick C.
