Its major features ... [More] include support for multiple programming paradigms (procedural, object-oriented, and functional styles), automatic memory management, built-in support for text processing, and a large collection of third-party modules. It's worth noting that Perl is currently under /very/ active development - although the commit stats here don't reflect that fact because the version control system Perl uses isn't yet compatible with Ohloh. Hopefully that can be fixed - the Perl community would certainly like Ohloh to show recent activity. [Less]

Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and easy object-oriented programming. It has many features to process text files and to do system management tasks (as in Perl). It is simple, straight-forward, extensible, and portable.

[More] of supported languages also includes non-scripting languages such as C#, Common Lisp (CLISP, Allegro CL, UFFI), Java, Modula-3, and OCAML. Also several interpreted and compiled Scheme implementations (Guile, MzScheme, Chicken) are supported. SWIG is most commonly used to create high-level interpreted or compiled programming environments, user interfaces, and as a tool for testing and prototyping C/C++ software. SWIG can also export its parse tree in the form of XML and Lisp s-expressions. [Less]

Tcl (Tool Command Language) is a very powerful but easy to learn dynamic programming language, suitable for a very wide range of uses, including web and desktop applications, networking, administration, testing and many more.

Rubinius is an execution environment for the Ruby programming language. It is comprised of three major pieces: a compiler, a 'kernel' (otherwise known as the Ruby Core Library), and a virtual machine. The project's goal is to create a top-of-the-line Ruby implementation.

Rhino is an open-source implementation of JavaScript written entirely in Java. It is typically embedded into Java applications to provide scripting to end users.

Jython is a Java implementation of the Python programming language. It allows users to compile Python source code to Java byte codes, and run the resulting bytecodes on any Java Virtual Machine.

Like Python, and unlike Java, Jython can also be used interactively: just type some Jython code at the prompt and see the results immediately. [Less]

Io is a small, prototype-based programming language. The ideas in Io are mostly inspired by Smalltalk (all values are objects), Self (prototype-based), NewtonScript (differential inheritance), Act1 (actors and futures for concurrency), LISP (code is a runtime inspectable/modifiable tree) and Lua (small, embeddable).
