Obviously there still is Perl which I still use regularly. The current version is 5.36. Then there are the shells (bash, ksh, zsh, csh, etc…) as well as Python, PHP, Lua, Ruby, JavaScript, PowerShell, VBA, and others For us old geezers there still is (n)awk.

Subject: Scripting language
In the mid 1980's, Larry Wall was working as a sysadmin and found that he needed to do a number of common, yet oddball functions over and over again. And he didn't like any of the scripting languages that were around at the time, so he invented Perl. Version 1 was released circa 1987. A few changes have occurred between then and now. The current version of Perl has exceeded 5.8.0 and is a highly recommended upgrade.
What scripting languages exist nowadays?
