George,

here's another thumb's up for Python.  it has the best features of
interpreted languages, and it's efficiently executed even on modest
machines.  you can write "regular" (procedural) programs in it or you
can write object oriented code.

Python has a huge user community, contributing support for everything
from unit-equation checking libraries to arbitrary precision arithmetic
libraries (if you exceed the limits of IEEE floating point) to graphics,
guis, etc.

navigation content:  I wrote a sight reduction program in Python.  it
works just fine.
