Scripting language

Hi there everyone :)
Recently, I started to feel a strong need to learn a scripting language. The question is which.
Right now I'm pondering between Ruby and Python.
The conditions are that it should be high-level, object or object oriented and not a functional language.
What say you, geeks?

both meet your criteria :)
Personally, I prefer Ruby over Python (after trying both). Just "clicks" better with my brain I guess.

I really don't know more about The scripting language...But I have listened a little bit about Ruby and I think this is good.......You should definitely go for it........

You might also want to check out node.js.

There seems to be a bit of buzz about this too.
