So which scripting language? Most popular, and the best?

Don't need in our business :whistle:

We looked at all the options,ruby, nodejs, python, asp, c# and meh.

Most our dev is Java and C for Android and Apple.

Cool... Yeah nothing quite beats bits into shape like assembler (the veritable electron god) :D
Guess by C re Apple it covers Objective-C as well? and what about Swift (or are you waiting for ABI)?

More specifically swift yea.

Got my Arduino a while ago but never got chance to use it. Got a little project idea for fun to do.

Was thinking about getting one, but then I just looked at all my gadgetry gathering dust, decided probably not a good idea...

Lol, like my Raspberry Pi

The PIC stuff is for very low power usage deployments

Lol, I'm moving house end of the month and took my electronics through to storage so that the movers don't have to move it. Incl my 4x4 I had to hire a trailer to move all of it. :o

We used a Pi to run a custom chat server at AfrikaBurn a few years ago. Was fun.

Never used an acoustic coupler but my first modem ran at 1200 baud.

Aaah that's brilliant, brings back so many good memories + funny enough recently for fun and to learn Swift I've been writing quite a bit of ANSI related code in the spirit of the old BBS.

No I don't want the movers to break my stuff, so I move it in advance

Yeah must confess to doing the same, don't trust anybody with my toys.

Python is just fine. Just try and get the right tool for the job.

I'm actually struggling to think of a use case where it is the best tool for the job. Using it as a training language is about all I can come up with. Suppose there are some security/"hacker" uses as well.

Python is great to use in situations where you need a cross-platform application with OS-level functions. It's also very easy to learn and easy to redistribute as you can essentially have a self-contained app that requires no system dependencies besides the user having Python install on their machine.
