Before going into the general purpose scripting and programming languages, there are a bunch of languages designed purposefully for modelling.
If you are doing simulations there is SIMULA. R (http://www.r-project.org/), the statistical app., also allows you to create scripts and modules useful for modelling. These tend to have tools and statistical tests easily available for analysing the results of models and this means less work for you.
