I use perl day to day. It's tough to justify C++ for these quick hit scripts I've fallen in to writing.

Python and can definitely see why people like it. Can easily be made as fast as
C++ and easy to work with like Matlab scripts.

but it is really impossible to make it even remotely as fast as C++

Perhaps you've never used it...

so you can easily code C++ libraries and pull them into Python

I think VBA is where you can lay the most blame, power users who work up through the VBA/Access route and keep going. No real discipline and no training. I started out that way and can understand the mind set, I do miss the formal training and grounding most really good devs must have.
