I don't know who originally coined the phrase, but I really like this: "Python is the second-best language for everything."
This is the main reason why I enjoy learning Python and for me, Python is the best programming language.
The Best Programming Language?

Re: The Best Programming Language?
#12Programming languages are just like tools in your toolbox. Use the hammer to hammer in nails, and use the screwdriver to drive in screws.
For example, maybe use Ruby on Rails to rapidly prototype a data-base driven CRUD app, but when you need to build a low level device driver, maybe you should use a language like C++
There is no "best" language for everything. There are only languages that are best for certain niches.
