35 going on juvenile delinquency.

Languages: Hmmmm.....
Well, started  at 16 with basic on a Radio Shack CoCo. Got the gist of
assembly without ever actually *learning* it. Went on to FORTRAN 77 in
school. Taught myself enough C to crash a system. Taught myself enough C++
to *really* mess things up. Been playing w/C and C++ off and on for about
10 years, but never really attempting anything *hard* (since I usually
can't even get the easy stuff to work well).

Fiddled with Java enough to know I don't really like it, but will probably
learn enough to mess that up too at some point. Same with Python, Eiffel,
Dylan, SmallTalk (not don't like them, just will probably get bored and
learn a little).

Done a little in a simulation language called SLAM II in school - that
lasted a whole semester so I really am an expert at it (and I feel safe
saying that, since it's dead and buried).

Eu is the first language I've actually liked. It's clear enough I can
figure out what's going on, but I actually have enough power to do some
interesting things with it.
