Personally, I have no idea what controls the high speed trains in Japan.

The only thing people in the US even _call_ a high speed train is the
Amtrak Acela in the northeast part of the country.  The most consistent
thing about that train is that it is fully electric, but there are some
places where it slows to 30 miles an hour due to a winding right-of-way,
places where it is restricted by intermixing with commuter rail run by
different companies and places where it intermixes with freight trains.
These factors are well beyond being cured by any choice of programming
language.
