Until the recent Bond movies James preferred British made gadgets.

The classic for me is from "You Only Live Twice", as there is real British gyro-copter nicknamed Little Nellie which (in the movie) shipped in 4 suitcases. In the action scenes Little Nellie took on several helicopters.

This nifty British made gadget got me wondering about what programming language would James (James Bond) have programmed in way back when the Brits were space-aged? (Especially if James needed to "hack something up" in situ)

+1  A: 

Either Brainfuck or Piet. Both are languages when - once written - no-one can figure out how it works and so no-one can interfere. My personal favorite is the come-from statement (in contrast to the mundane go-to) :)

Piet has the advantage that it would play really good in cinema. An artistic James Bond paints his painting, scans it in and there you go - bye bye russian missile site.
