That's heartening news. My impression, just from hearing loose talk, is that at least 50% of the developers I know learned one language (mostly COBOL in the shops where I worked) and didn't care to learn anything else, or in some cases didn't think they could. I'm with you, Shmuel; learning a new language is interesting and usually fun.
Oh, well, I guess I'll have to stop feeling myself superior, now :). --- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, cell 336 382-7313 /* Definition of boat ownership: Standing fully-clothed under a cold shower, tearing up 100-dollar bills. */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Seymour J Metz Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2022 21:35 I've always expected programmers to learn new languages as needed, and for me it's recreation, at least if the new language is halfway decent. During the last half century at least 70% of my colleagues have been willing to learn new things. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
