You obviously didn't know (m)any of the hundreds of thousands of COBOL programmers. (A language conspicuous by its absence from your impressively large list of languages.) http://catb.org/jargon/html/C/COBOL.html Of for that matter, the vast horde of BASIC/VB coders, or even for that matter the C coders who *if they were especially adventurous* might have had a passing acquaintance with one or two shell scripting languages. -- Steven D'Aprano "Ever since I learned about confirmation bias, I've been seeing it everywhere." -- Jon Ronson -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
