You know, this is a beautiful question, because this is what ended my academic career. My final class, and exam, was "Scientific Computation", which covered fractals, wavelets, artificial life, genetic algorithms, and a number of modern problems. The final project was to select a problem from the book for the class, so it was pretty open ended. I decided to build an artificial life simulation. I had to build the final project in Maple, and I wrote a graphical UI with little "creatures" with an array of "DNA" that represented movement patterns, which evolved over time in a grid of randomly placed food. The professor was amazed at the resourcefulness regarding the programming language. The moral? The programming language doesn't matter, if you really are interested.
