Perl.
Lisp (lots of choices here, some are smaller than others).
Python.
Reasons: scripting interactive development. Perl has lots useful
modules and easy to do advanced stuff. Lisp teaches you a lot about
programming, and has led innovation several generations. Python is
objective, and fast.
Some people like java. because partly maybe it is easy to develop
GUIs. if you want that. Python has TCL/TK interface. Perl has C
interface, etc etch.
many other languages available in Debian ...
As far as powerpc goes, the scripted languages are probably more
portable, as the language itself contains more in the core that is
already ported. Some languages that are not are more portable, some
work better on powerpc -- particularly in the Lisp section. Java was
bad for a long time because IBM was sort of closed and did the powerpc
but now the standard Sun java is available it may be better, however
apple still uses their own java for MacOSX....
My opinion/ experience ...
