Gentlemen, let's not talk like this around here of all places - all
languages are created equally (except COBOL).
And who's overlooking lisp? There are two livecoding systems which use it
(given that scheme is a flavour of lisp).

I will buy a beer for the first person to come up with a language
expressed in 'knitware'.
cheers,
