YIKES!! Not even YHVH could be that cruel!

Very possible. I still think Natural Language should work.

Fortran too uses external libraries.

> Jumping to Fortran wouldn't be a problem for me. However, the fact that it doesn't run on Internet servers as far as I am aware makes it a little less attractive. Perl is probably on most or all of them.

Why is that a consideration? Do you propose interactive programs?
