If you would have taken the time to read the rules you would have seen that it could be any language.

Read the documentation..

My post was directed at Jordan.

I won't be doing it, since I've never done anything with hashes in my life.

Why the **** does it matter who it is directed at?

I was making a general statement.

If you would exhibit some basic intelligence and read ALL of the documentation before posting a question, you would have been fine.

I'm considering Java at this point, but I see no where in the rules (Even after reading them a 2nd time) where it says I have to state what language I am going to use in here ;)

EDIT: I see it now. So I'm locked into Java.

What are you talking about? Jordan said specifically to post which language people were going to use for the battle, so I just prompted him.

Why were you prompting Jordan?

The rules say just say what language YOU are going to use.

People can use whatever language.

Be more specific then.

This sentence literally means that you prompted Jordan.

However it makes sense that you would have prompted morefood2001 so okay.
