Smalltalk, too; I'd throw it in the mix. Much serious econometrics
has been done with Fortran, but I have no enthusiasm for pursuing
that direction, mostly because I think too much of the computing
world is going in a different one.
But I'm not you, DeepBlue, or, more specifically, it's unlikely that
our circumstances are at all similar. Is your project at a hobbyist
level? How does hardware constrain you? How big is your team ...?
