It'd be easy enough to mandate a list of languages. Or alternatively to require languages to be standards published by a recognised national or international body from a short list (ISO, ANSI and equivs, IEEE, ECMA etc).
I think common sense applied to the process would be enough, rather than mandating languages that may or may not be relevant in the future. Though Patent System and Common Sense might be bit of an oxymoron.

Wouldn't rule out Javascript then.

Or C# (ECMA), Common Lisp (ANSI), SQL (ISO), Fuzzy Control Language (IEC) ...
Or C (ISO/ANSI)
Yes, but it's not as amusing :D
