This is somewhat of a serious question: If there is a God (I'm
not saying there isn't, and I'm not saying there is), what
language would he choose to create the universe? It would be
hard for us mortals to imagine, but would it resemble a
functional programming language more or something else? And
what type of hardware would the code run on? I mean, there are
computations happening all around us, e.g., when an apple falls
or planets circle the sun, etc, so what's performing all the
computation?
