Dear "Toasters", who will tell you the best scripting language for the system administrator, which will be used everyday?

Of course, for UNIX systems, the first thing that comes to mind is BASH + Python, but looking at such tools as puppet and chef, I would like to recommend Ruby (the configuration is written in it).
For Windows - PowerShell.

I agree with my comrades about * nix systems.
But with Windows it is harder, there is no such language there that will "drag" everything, so act according to the circumstances.
I use in Windows: batch, python, powershell, VB
Good luck!
