Which language would annoy a PHP user?

We have nobody who coordinates the programmers at the company. Everybody uses the technology he wants.

Which programming language would you suggest to learn that would annoy a PHP user (who knows a bit of Java) and give him a bad time if he has to take over a project?

It's not the source that matters: it's the resulting binary output that does (the stuff your operating system loads and puts into the program segment of the process: the stuff that gets attacked: the source is not attacked).

Even though Haskell the language does not provide an explicit means of adressing memory (for the most part, I'm sure there's some way to do it if you really want to), this does not mean that GHC will also output binary that refrains from addressing memory (of course it addresses memory).

By optimizing out pervasive bounds and type checks from the output code it's that much less secure. In comparison, if an attack has to deal with a program that is doing run time type and bounds checking everywhere it's quite a pain.
