Python
Readable enough to teach in a week, Python spends most of its working life as glue: it loads data, calls libraries written in faster languages and hands the results on. Analysts, administrators and machine-learning engineers reach for it first. Beginners judge it by the syntax, yet packaging and virtual environments trip up more projects than the language itself ever does.
