I program in java, C, fortran (sic!) and other languages. They are all
turing-complete, so it doesn't matter which one you pick: you can
obtain the same result with the same effort. Or maybe a better result
with less effort, if you are smart enough.

I look forward to use a turing-tarpit language, like brainfuck or lolcode.
