This list seems arbitrary. Of these, bash is the only one that
might be considered mandatory, though a Linux specialist may
choose another shell. My servers run more Java code (code
that runs in a servlet container) than Perl and Python. You
won't find any PHP code on my systems but you will find Tcl,
Scheme, and Lua. I'm considering Forth for a future application.
I think it's useful to expose students to the universe of
possibilities instead of restricting them to the fashion trends.
