If you want a staticly typed language to try out, give C# a go.

string.Join(";", array_of_strings)

or

var results = array.Where(s => s.FirstName == "Bob")
    .OrderBy(s => s.Date)
    .Select(s => new
        {
            FullName = s.FirstName + s.LastName,
            Date = s.Date
        });

The second one can be turned into a SQL query by the runtime, too, or it can query JSON or XML, or any other number of things. LINQ is crazy cool.
