I don't know -- I always preferred C and C++ to Pascal (and Object Pascal
in Delphi). I don't know Modula-2 or Dylan and only have passing familiarity
with Java (the syntax's like C++ anyway). And I like Python's syntax a lot.

That's just a single case in point, I may be just weird. :)

No-I-*am*-just-weird-ly yours,
