Banging the metal -

Some Solaris 10 & 11 performance and system analysis code runs using perl interfaces - Dtrace for example. Dtrace also runs on Linux, again perl is a major player.

Because of SciPy and NumPy a lot of scientists like myself use Python - more because of the libraries than for any other reason. For system stuff Dtrace is great.

No matter what you "hear" about any coding environment, there is a huge BS component to it. You should pick the tool that fits your needs - not someone else's perceptions. There have been a nauseating number of threads on UNIX.com in the past - 'What is the best language to learn (or to code in) ?' No language is perfect for everyone. Period.
