General guidance is that if you are serious about the charm, treat it
like code, use version control and if possible test suites, and pick a
high-level language you are comfortable in.

Most charms start out as a quick-and-dirty proof of concept in Bash,
then the serious ones switch to something more suited to flow control,
architecture and testing.

I would expect to see the Rails charm in Ruby, and the Node charm in
Node.js :) We'll generally try to implement utilities as things which
can be used from any language, but yes, many / most of the
industrial-grade charms will use Python, given its status as a popular
glue language.
