a discovery

What do you use for casual programming? When, say, you need to scan a bunch of data you have and produce some kind of derivative data - not as huge as map/reduce, but manually unfeasible? A while ago the standard choice was c/c++; some people can do it in a couple of lines of perl (so did I a while ago); python or sh are good at times. For the last several years I used to write this stuff in java.

And yesterday I found myself writing a javascript code for gathering and extracting the data I needed. Javascript! Who could imagine. But I found that writing the stuff in Javascript was the easiest way for me to process my data. And displaying and formatting the results is even easier.
