Choosing a scripting language (not python)?

Question

System administration

For a week now, the choice of a scripting language for utilities has been haunting me, and not only, it would seem, the choice is obvious - python, but I have become so attached to the logic of C languages ​​that I can’t use another one at all.
It's not just about the syntax, dynamic typing, indentation, lack of brackets, the logic is generally a little different, in general, a lot of things ...
This is what paralyzed me:
a = input("?")
after:
int a;
cin >> a/scanf("%d", &a)
I'm looking for a scripting language similar in philosophy to SI. I read about js and the node, as a scripting language, I am also interested in the opinion of people, if there are such comrades using the node)
Thank you for your answer, gentlemen.

Answer 1

ruby

Answer 2

similar in philosophy to SI

What does it mean?
I use ruby ​​as a language for writing 5-50 lines on my knee. A very convenient tool: on the one hand, a full-fledged PL, but on the other, it is very easy to shit-code, which is usually required on such a script size.
For very short 1-4 lines - bash.
Something more serious than 50 lines - I'm already writing a full-fledged PHP application, with composer and type control.
