Maybe I'm being too nasty, but I feel like the people who should
participate in the wikitech-l discussion are, or at least, were,
participating in it. Would you really want all this noise over there?

Honestly, the question of which language to use is 90% practicality:
which language can we actually get an interpreter for, that is secure
and fast enough. Preferences for one style of syntax over another
don't really enter into it.
