Indeed, some really good coders could do it in any language. From reddit, "I submitted a polyglot program in vim, dc, brainfuck, bash, bc, php, whitespace, c, c++, befunge-98, golfscript, python3 and ruby. The first seven languages were for the contest problems, befunge doesn't do much, and the mainstream languages (+golfscript) are all quines. http://www.go-hero.net/jam/12/name/Nabb " And this guy still managed to rank 73rd.
