Languages I recall us considering include: Java, Kotlin, Swift, C++, Dart, Lisp, Lua, ObjectPascal, Python, C#, Go, Rust, TypeScript, JavaScript itself, Perl.

I wish I had our notes from back then, but I looked for them recently and couldn't find them. Our best theory is we did it on paper or on a whiteboard. :-(
