I only put that in there because I asked a like question in a different forum and got all sorts of
"use C++" or "use LISP" answers.
And that's why I qualified "when studying algorithms". Because
there are some things for which other languages may be more
appropriate as a studying ground. For example, if you are
studying programming languages theory, it might be
better to stick with Scheme or LISP so that you can more
easily translate your Lambda calculus and tail recursions
and continuations into working code... (and no, I don't want
to reopen the "Lisp vs Perl" discussion :-)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
