ruby is the opposite, you can write very concise code and it is mostly human readable. ruby is a beautiful language, but I've only ever been able to use in IRL in RoR projects. Same with python, most of my projects have been Django, I haven't had the opportunity to use it too widely outside of web applications.
perl can sometimes be human readable, but it is also possible to write code that no one else will likely ever understand fully unless they are programming gods. I'll often write perl for myself for manipulating data. To me perl is a utility language.
java i dislike, i tend to dislike any programing language that makes me type tons of cruft to get things done, the more concise the better i tend to like developing in it. I choose c# over java if I have the chance, but really I'm meh about both.
C and C++ I love but I seldom take those types of jobs these days.
Also, Regualr Expressions / RegEx while not strictly a language itself is a gift from the computer gods.
