Marcus is tasked with creating a tool that will automatically generate weekly reports, gather data from various sources, and send the compiled information via email to his team. The tool needs to be flexible for quick edits and should run with minimal setup across different operating systems. Which type of programming language is most appropriate for Marcus to use for this task?
Marcus should use a scripting language because it allows for quick and easy edits, can be run immediately without compiling, and is generally cross-platform compatible, which meets the requirements for the automated tool he is tasked with creating. Scripting languages are commonly used for automating repetitive tasks and manipulating data, which aligns with the process of generating and sending weekly reports.
