Pretty much all the scripting languages interface easily with C++ these
days, so you can pick your language for the high-level work. I've never
bothered to learn Python, Lua or PHP as a result -- Perl is good enough
for general processing, and R is good for heavy number crunching. But I
*am* learning Ruby, which is connected in some way with GridFlow, which
is in turn connected in some way with PureData.
