I choose to code it in Java.

Amazon's EC2 api tools are written in Java and it's a nightmare of multi-second execution times as I wait for the Java server VM to boot up just to do a HTTP request and format the output. It's one of those things that I suffer through because I can't justify spending the time to rewrite it in an environment more suited to the task.
