Java metaprogramming is a real pain, so just use Groovy. (Though Java 8
at least has higher-order functions. method references and lambda 
expressions.)

C is a lost cause.

C++ has a lot of template metaprogramming, but you have to be as good 
as David Abrahams to be any good at it.

Python (and Ruby, Lisp, Clojure, etc.) programmers have no problem 
with this stuff.
