It's a general-purpose language. You can use it for anything that doesn't have to be super-fast. (Even then, you may be able to use it, by passing just the slow bits off to C.)

It's a popular language in Linux and has many libraries for just about any task. It's known for being relatively easy to learn.

It's a common ground for c/perl developers and java developers. In that it is somewhat amazing.

It's also highly portable in it's GUI applications. It works on windows and linux beautifully cross platform... thus the infosec market being huge fans of it.
