I would guess, actually, that you could use most any language that can
compile to a JVM. Admittedly, compared to what's available in C or
similar for Linux, that's still a very limited set of options. Wikipedia
mentions only Ruby, Groovy, JavaScript, Python, Common Lisp, Scala,
Forth, and Clojure.

Still, the JVM can't do efficient tail recursion, and I don't think that
any of the above have compilers will change a tail call into a loop....
