I started programming in 1967, and over the last 50+ years I've programmed in more languages than I would want to list. I spent a decade writing in FORTRAN on a GA 18/30 (essentially a clone of the IBM 1130) with limited memory space, so you had to write EFFICIENT code, something that is a bit of a lost art these days. I also spent a decade writing in COBOL.
I've not found many tasks that I couldn't find a way to write in whatever language I had available to write it in. There may be bad (or at least inefficient) languages, but there are lots of bad programmers. -- Mike Nolan htf...@gmail.com
