I have to add Clojure to the list.

The startup-time/overhead of Clojure/JVM make it a not so great choice for command-line scripting.

In general, sure, it's a powerful tool.

[ Edited: in light of the reply below. ]

You mean Clojure's startup-time, the JVM starts up pretty fast!

Ah, good point, thanks for the link.
