Python
From the official Python web-site "Python is a dynamic object-oriented programming language that can be used for many kinds of software development."
Python is very readable and easy to create clean bug-free programs due to the motto: "Errors should never pass silently." Python source files (.py files) are typically compiled to an intermediate bytecode language (.pyc files) and executed by a Python Virtual Machine.
