to me using more than one interpreter or language is no different than
using different libraries to save having to reinvent the wheel. It's
all just Qt/GNOME library calls (well, ok, system calls eventually) at
the end of the day.

Personally I'd say Ruby knocks all others into a cocked hat, but
If your language has good bindings to the core libraries then use it.
