Re: "Team" members wanted

the problem is not the 'language' as long as it's turing complete and has
the necessary libraries to work without re-inventing everything.

Java has a strong set of libraries for working with almost any paradigm and
is fundamentally well suited when looking for developers with experience in
the language.
