Now that we're all up to speed, discuss the pros and cons of each language, as well as which you believe to be the superior language.

Brainfuck is a Turing tarpit, and a Touring tarpit. Only for lulz.
Java is a piece of shit of a language (good syntax, but stupid object model, stupid operators, stupid lack of features such as operator overloading, stupid constraints, stupid static typing) with a piece of shit of an API (extensive and useful, but completely insane, overengineered, ridiculous, full of enterprise-grade best-practices that create synergy between business logic and operative cost). Productivity will suck, and it may very well be even worse than C.
Python is a quite good languge with a feature set similar to that of Ruby and, to a lesser scale, Lisp. It has a clean syntax (good looking save for __, easy to read, forces idiots to indent statement blocks though nothing else) and a powerful object model, and supports structured, OO and functional programming. It comes with an extensive and useful API that's usually simple to use. Get things done very fast, and good execution speed for an interpreted dynamic languge. Also, QUACK.
