It's bizarre that at one stage I could claim to know to some degree C,
C++, Eiffel, Haskell, Python, scheme, Common Lisp and some others that
I'm probably forgetting.  Nowadays, I only often program in C and
Python and 90+% of the C is for the Python core.  I do try to keep my
CL neurons working, but the others have faded quite a lot.  Time to
learn a new language, I guess.

Cheers,
M.
