What are some good programming languages for small programming challenges?
That is, the kinds of questions that you'd find in a Microsoft interviewTM or on a site like Project Euler.
The idea here is that it's quick to turn an algorithm into code.
A big requirement is that it should have a lot of inbuilt data structures such as trees or hash maps so you don't have to write your own.
It should also have easily accessible functions for doing things such as sorting arrays.
I've mostly been using Java because of the collections framework.
