I can name a few through my joirneys.

Perl is a temple. You construct some ritualistic temple of a project, leave it be for years and will stand happily without any issues. Come back many months later, add a single comment; total Indiana Jones scenario.

TCL is voodoo, it does stuff that shouldn't work but does awesomely. How it does it is just voodoo.

Ruby is just magic. You create a thing, change one thing and the next thing you know you've suddenly got two features for the price of one.

PHP is a sheep.

PHP is a sheep with one droopy eye and one of the ears actually looks like it belongs to a donkey, but the fur/wool is at first glance, well-conditioned.
