As I said last time this argument came up, you can write INTERCAL in any language. And ultimately, and language that tries to make it hard to write bad code (ada, Java, Pascal, etc.) merely walls off one option. There are always other ways to write code badly (frequently, by making it overly baroque. My rule of thumb as to make the code as simple as you can get away with, avoid doing anything obviously stupid, and fix anything that goes wrong. I'm not in industry yet, so I can get away with it).
