Right now, I am using SAS and S+/R. As a new year resolution, I am
planning to learn a scripting language.

from statisticians' point of view, which scripting language is worth
to learn, perl, python, or any other recommendation? (Most likely, I
will be learning it in windows.) Since I am not in research, I will
prefer one widely used in industry and related to statistical work.

if you recommend one, I will really appreciate it if you could point
out a good source for learning as well.

thank you so much!

Have a happy holiday.
