Why don't you just use Python, Ruby or even C#? Why write your own language?

I wanted to learn Ruby a while back but didn't have a web project to work on so I started writing a load of scripts in Ruby instead. It worked out fine.

C# has the same issue really, although we do it use for some other tooling and whatnot as we're a .NET shop.

Don't know much Ruby or Python to be honest so I'm not sure how could I apply them but I'll dig around sometime soon.
