My favourite's Python, but Tcl is definitely worth a look. It's been around a bit longer than Python (so more time for every conceivable problem to have been met by someone and fixed), and I'm not an expert but I think it's particularly good for things like sockets-- they're just sort of built in and are very easy to work with. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
