currently the faq says ''Provide implementations in an interpreted 
language, a JIT language, and a compiled language'' which is 3 
languages. i am assuming it is cheating to use a single language that 
can be used in all 3 ways, although this is not made explicit.
we also have the ''100 lines of code in C#/Java'' which is a 
specification of another 2 (or 1, remains to be seen. i have not seen an 
answer to my question about that).
perhaps language families would be a better description? ie, one of the 
algol languages, one of the lisp, one of ml? that is also 3 
implementations. and yes, we would need to list which languages that 
goes into which families.
