Hi,
C, C++ and Pascal are not scripting languages but "real" programming languages.
But to answer your question: It depends on what you want to do. For client-side actions there is not much choice but JavaScript. If you wnat to do some server-side stuff, you don't have much choice either. It depends on what your provider allows.
If that is no question (maybe you have your own server) then just use Perl. It's powerful, comparable easy to learn and well documented. If Perl isn't powerful enough for you then take Lisp (very hard to learn).
If your only concern is speed, use C.
Cheers, Jan

AJAX seems to be the trendy thing to use these days...
Apparently all Google applications are running on it.

If you used it for that long, shouldn't you have formed an opinion of it by now?

See, thats alot harder. It would have to have a dumb base, like if I type "I like cheese." it runs through a condition and responds, "Cheese is stinky."
But then it would have to be able to understand parts of a sentence, so if you say "I like cheese" the program would go "I" so the're saying something concerning themselves, "like" positive with some sort of definition that was understandable by the program, and "cheese" the subject matter, the point of the sentence. With all this a smart bot then has to generate a unique answer bases on its programming, so...
osistlk: I like cheese.
smartofartobot: Cheese smells so I don't like it.
This is explained as it were somewhat easy but my advice would be to build your way up from dumb bots to smart bots.

the easiest way to create a bot with unique responses would be to have arrays of sentence structures and bits of phrases and words selected either using random functions or determined by words that the user inputs.
If you still consider yourself a novice, I would say that a smart bot is a bit too ambitious. you should try to think of different ways to create unique responses to user input, as well as what kinds of variables you'd like to store (user names, age, whatever) to make the bot seem "smarter." Worry more about how you want to do something, and don't tie yourself down to any one language first.

Well it depends on the job your doing now doesn't it?
If I were throwing together a website PhP is what I would use. If I were making a game C++(Direct X). If I was feeling old school and wanted to have some fun in a nostalgic sense Pascal
. If I was developing a web application Ruby On Rails is the weapon of choice. Finally if I am feeling really lazy and want to throw together an application for a nagging friend or random person then Visual Basic.
Oh and last point if I am feeling a little suicidal has to be assembly
