This is good to know. I'm creating a new credit course
"Scripting for Security"
for IPO Fall 2011 that will feature BASH, Python and Lua (in
that order) that I
figured is a useful order if not a logical one. I'd appreciate any
thoughts from
the group on the subject.

Perhaps you may want to lead off with a discussion of what to use
each language for and what can be reused between them. Thinking
that the next language would be starting from scratch I wanted to
try things like GUI programming in BASH. Now I can also see that
regular expressions mostly carry over between languages and that
using the wrong tool for the job is harder then adding another
language.
