It's late night, you're working on a critical piece of software for your company. It must be finished by sun up.

Doesn't have to be pretty but has to do what is needed.

What SDK do you reach for?

SDK...No

MS Excel... Yes

Beer.

My weapon of choice is planned escape route.

Lol it's meant to be a rhetorical question. What is your "getting sh*t done" language of choice?

Re: msexcel I've created some pretty awesome excel macros in my time.

Sadly, I agree, Excel is the defacto quick and dirty solution.

Alternatively, for string parsing/matching then perl will get the job done.

Access if i want a proof of concept database app and gui

In a more serious answer, I don't have a language of choice as all I really code is HTML, javascript and writing the odd batch files for jobs, but in terms of productivity and tools for getting things done on big/complicated projects, the two main weapons in the arsenal would be Textpad and Excel.

Delegate that sh*t to a lesser and go get drunkard.

I've knocked up some amazing stuff in just plain ol' bash. Sadly I have a problem where the word prototype means "yup I finished the final version".

So much stuff running in production servers that should never see the light of day.

Re: JavaScript and html have you looked at the Adobe Air SDK. Those two things are all you need to know to start producing Air applications that'll run cross platform and on android.

Not really, I'm not into the applications side of things so I've had no need to use Air at all, I mainly use JS for quick hacks to get our software to do something it won't or the make something work in a pretty way 

You build websites right? They're web based applications no?

It's pretty cool, especially for interfacing with webservices across the net as the apis are all the same.
