Other than php/perl/lisp/c/c++/java, anybody have a favorite computer-programming language?

I might start writing my multi-language "cookbook" about how to program.
Rather than have a separate "cookbook" for each language,
I'll have all languages folded into a single "cookbook",
which is organized per data type, with all languages that can
handle that single data type included side by side.

I'd especially like to include Fortran and Cobol if anybody here is
expert enough to know how to interface either of them to CGI. Of
the four oldest programming languages (dating from 1964 or
earlier), assembly language, Lisp, Fortran, and Cobol, I won't be
including assembly language because it's different for each
particular kind of CPU and because I don't know anyone who has a
bare-machine interfaced to the net such that CGI programs can be
written directly in assembly language for public access, but I
already will be including Lisp (specifically Common Lisp, not
Scheme nor emacs-lisp at this time), and it would be sorta nice if
I could also include the other two.

But if your favorite language is more modern but I'm not already
including it (see Subject field for what I'm currently including),
and you know how to interface it to CGI, I'll be glad to include
it.

For what you have to prove to me when you volunteer your favorite
programming language, or if you simply nominate your favorite
language and somebody else does the work of interfacing to CGI,
see: <http://www.rawbw.com/~rem/HelloPlus/hellos.html#step3>

For more of an idea what the cookbook will be like (other than what
I've written above), see my longwinded rambling here:
<http://www.rawbw.com/~rem/HelloPlus/hellos.html#step4>
As soon as I've started writing the "cookbook", I'll include a
direct link to it from there.
