What's the best programming language for performing image analysis?

In your opinion anyway.. the one I'm currently using is extremely slow when dealing with arraysWhat's the best programming language for performing image analysis?
Matlab is very easy to learn and is definitely well-suited for image analysis, but it would depend on your access to Matlab or willingness to purchase it. Gnu Octave is an open-source program/language acclaimed to be very similar to Matlab - might want to check it out along with Scilab, another open-source alternative.





Python is a good language for that type of programming as well. You can find libraries for image editing and the language lends itself to the task. The third link below includes a list of libraries that make a good Matlab replacement.





I remember hearing about a good C image processing suite but can't remember which it was. All I can find is CImg or VXL.





Something like ImageMagick is available in many languages, but I'm not sure if it's what you're looking for, I think it's more geared to effects than analysis.
