Perl:

Problem -> $ @ % <=> <> =()= => ; qw() ])} select(undef, undef, undef, 0.25) =~ tr/.?\w\sREg3xfr0mhe|l/foo/g; $|++ &homebrewedFunction(%$ref, $_ , @_ ) -> solution

Source: I mainly code in perl. I like it, but I'll be the first to admit that it's not a beautiful language.

I was about to make an entry for lisp here, but I don't have enough parentheses to draw the path to the solution.
