I still use python for my utility scripts. There isn't a "next thing" for the niche yet AFAIK, all the hot activity seems to be in web-application languages(eg. Clojure, Scala, HaXe, Fantom) which don't do a lot to get down-and-dirty on the backend.

Isn't server-side javascript the Next Big Thing for utility scripts? I still use python, because of the difficulties of getting new runtimes approved in $bigco, but I got the impression that's where things were going.
