This is possible, but maybe (as long as we're reading his mind anyway:-)
by the 'programming' adjective (that he didn't use but you think he had
implied) he meant languages *used IN* programming -- and SQL and
XML (particularly the XSLT part thereof) then qualify again:-). That's why
I was suggesting them rather than, say, French, Esperanto, or Latin:-).

C++, IMHO, is somewhat too complicated even as a second programming
language; unless C++ is a specific requirement, Java is more approchable.
