dangerous question to ask... likely to start a religious war.

The best scripting language is the one you know. The second best
scripting language starts with "P".

By the way, although I haven't done it, I believe you can do what you
want with a pure CGI application as well... no "scripting" in the
traditional sense, but you will be using a "Very High Level Language"
no matter what.
