Smalltalk, too; I'd throw it in the mix. Much serious econometrics has been done with Fortran, but I have no enthusiasm for pursuing that direction, mostly because I think too much of the computing world is going in a different one. But I'm not you, DeepBlue, or, more specifically, it's unlikely that our circumstances are at all similar. Is your project at a hobbyist level? How does hardware constrain you?
