Which one? CS departments vary in what they consider cool. When I talked to the attribute grammar guy here at CU, he snickered when he found out we were writing Perl 6 in Haskell, dismissing Haskell as "a mathematical exercise". It would be wise to do some research and figure out what this CS department considers cool before trying to techword them. Luke
