It won't be long before someone writes a procedural language binding
to PostgreSQL for Parrot [1]. That should offer us a handful or six
more languages that can be used, including BASIC, Ruby and Scheme,
Perl (5 and 6), Python and TCL for more or less free, and ... wait for
it, BrainF***.

IIRC, people have talked about porting C# to Parrot, as well.
