| What are the key strengths of each language, so I can match the
language to what I want to accomplish with it? I know I can always take
on another language later.
Current project group A
Simple user data calculators/converters for X (not CGI). If you've seen
English/Metric measurement converters, foreign currency converters, and
eBay/PayPal fee calculators you've got the idea.
Current project group B
Some console-only things that could most likely be done in bash, but
would probably be easier to do using a language.

Bash (or any POSIX shell) *is* a langauge, and unless there is a
good reason for using somthing else, that's what I'd use.
