OK so when I signed up for pottermore.com I was chosen to be Ravenclaw! So what language best suits this.......

Python, being a snake surely is Team Slytherin so not that one.

Haskell favours purity - definitely Team Slytherin too.

If you've ever setup a Java enterprise project then this belongs to a house which values hard work, patience and loyalty - so Team Hufflepuff.

XML is clearly Slytherin too.

This is not going well......

So I guess with Ravenclaw's virtues of being intelligent, wise, sharp, witty, individual, then it has to be a language with a sense of humour, that is unique in it's style and needs a fair amount of effort to read. Yup, gotta be Brainfuck!
