In terms of portability and installed base Python or Perl probably are the best choices. They come installed with most UNIX, BSD or UNIX-like operating systems such as Linux.

Python can feel sluggish due to slower startup time so I would skip that and use either Perl or Go.

Definitely Perl for UNIXy stuff.
