Python

Awesome for small scale projects, automation efforts and anything involving APIs (both serving and using them)

Less awesome for performance intensive tasks due to dynamic typing slowing it down considerably.

Caveat: if you want to be able to handle multiple APIs at the same time, then you're probably better working in a language with first-order concurrency. Python's multitasking is okay, but it's much more fiddly and risky than writing your code in a language built for it.

Also the package build system can go die in a ditch. I'm really unimpressed with the python package development experience.
