And another thing professionals consider is the scope of coverage. *If*
you want the widest application, you consider the tolls available on the
targets of your effort. If certain of those targets are unlikely to have
your preferred language on it, you can reduce your targets or choose a
language that is more likely to be available on your targets.

For widest possible coverage, something like bash should be considered.
