Hi,
I wouldn't exclude VB or VBS, it can be invaluable in locked-down
environments (with an uncooperative IT department), as it is installed
and enabled by default on Windows XP & Windows 7 (e.g. for scripting
digitization workflows as I have done)

PHP is very widely used in libraries and is among the most widely used
languages in general. I think that it would be unfortunate if it were
not
included.
I wonder about C# over C++.
I don't believe that Basic has much of a presence in library development
outside of Microsoft application scripting. Of course, there are likely
quite a few 10 year old VB apps out there.
