Ask HN: Most independent programming language?

Independent means something like this: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/independent

What would be your recommendation? I want to feel free, or break free as Freddie Mercury says.

Forth. The only language/OS that you can bootstrap from nothing but thought and frustration to a full system (runtime, editor, compiler, assembler) in under a year (if you cheat by studying the work of others, a lot faster)

Not possible - you need to rely on the work of others to get things done.

Thank you for your response. I was talking about "the most". And maybe I just want to know the programming language that doesn't rely its existence to a sole entity.
