Alan Anderson: My favorite programming language is Tcl/Tk. It has minimal syntax which doesn't get in the way. It provides high-level support for lots of things like networking, virtual filesystems, database connectivity, GUI creation and event handling, etc. I have written entire web applications using Tcl only.

Add me to the TCL list, and I've also written web applications using Tcl. I have used TCL for about 17 years at this point.
Philip Greenspun's book and AOLServer got me hooked on doing websites. Very cool stuff.

If it's a one off I'll use Awk. The nice thing about Awk is it's tiny so for years I could walk around with a 3.5" floppy with Awk on it and program any place I needed.
