I'm a tech and not a serious programmer but I really like scripting with bash. It's an easy way to automate and program tasks while also manipulating data.
For example, I've automated reports for my work and made lots of screen scraping scripts.
It's my go to for anything. I've recently started to learn python but often catch myself thinking it would be easier to accomplish most of what I want with a bash script.
And my least favorite has to be Tcl. It's one of the first serious languages I "learned", because eggdrops in the 90ies, and I still don't like it.
