*Any lang that has an almost 1-to-1 mapping to [[wikipedia:Turing_machine|Turing Machines]] (such as [[wikipedia:Brainfuck|Brainfuck]]), is also a good candidate, since they're easy to implement on real computers. But they can be quite slow because of their [[wikipedia:Sequential_access_memory|sequential-access memory]]. You might want a [[wikipedia:Random-access_machine|RAM]].
