I recently learned that about Python! I'm waiting to learn it about Ruby but necessity hasn't knocked yet.

Which ones?

PowerShell and C#. I didn't do much with PowerShell and I was able to write C# due to the similarity to Java.

I haven't tried Ruby and only took a course in Python. I can basically hack Python to do what I could do faster in Perl, but can see how it would be great for data manipulation tasks if you use it in the way it was designed.
