Lloyd Burns is an unknown quantity at this point
One thing said above that is true is "it depends on ..." who's writing, and what is being programmed. It also depends on the hardware in some cases.

I quickly scanned the thread, but don't see any mention of the Javelin Stamp - "A 24 pin processor programmed with a subset of the Sun Microsystems Java language", as they say on the Parallax.com site.

This means Stamps (read familiar-to-IFI processor) can talk in PBasic or Java. This might rule out APL or COBOL as possible languages for next year, as well as Forth.
