For one thing, all computers can run any PL with little effort.
A counter example to this is that any children can be taught any language. The fact that an adult can't learn new languages as easily speaks more to the architecture of the computer (brain) than to its capacity to run various languages.

The clause "with little effort" is not counteracted though - for a computer this represents a short download-and-install of a compiler/interpreter. Even writing a compiler may take the same amount of time it takes to learn a language from scratch.
