Thanks for doing this.
+speed, the best language to use is C. C++ is ok too, but please don't
+make heavy use of templates. Other languages commonly used in the
+free softwre community, such as Java, Python and Ruby, are ok too.
(Typo here: “software”.)
What about mentioning Scheme here?
(BTW, C++ templates allow meta-programming similarly to Lisp macros,
only in a more restricted way.)
