Go. Go is by far the best programming language I have ever used, too bad its no good for this kind of thing.
For scripting I prefer JavaScript so long as it is not complicated, once you start getting complicated in JavaScript it becomes pretty hard to work with.
For least favorite launguages: (in least favorite first order)
Python
Forth
Most BASICs
lua
Java
C
C++
Most other languages are somewhere after lua/C. As far as embeded scripting launguages go there are not many (if any) good choices, JavaScript is about the best (as long as you dont try to be too OO)

I think it's worth adding tutorial anyway - at the end of the day, if people want to use coffeescript and that results in more AIs or warzone mods, it's good for the community despite the ugly syntax
