I started with C++. Dabbled a bit in Java, but now I use regular C, but thats because I am working on embedded micro-controller programing.

It all starts with a little heart and soul.

Java. All the kids are doing it.

The only good Java is a dead Java. That doesn't even make sense. But I don't like it anyway, so there you go ;)

... you're missing the point! The individual doesn't matter. It was a team effort, and I was the one who came up with the whole team idea... ME!

For God's sake, why? Ask any of the people who actually used punch cards to program computers and see if they miss it. You're alive in the middle of the transition of programming from lengthy codes & syntax to English language, so simple even a child can program a computer. I personally can't wait to see what's next.

I think a programming language in Latin would be much cooler than one in English.
