In more than two years in my current job, the only time I've done any C
programming was one time when we wanted to precisely specify how much
memory was getting consumed per unit time. IOW, it was more of a
sysadmin usage because we were trying to figure out why one machine was
crashing. I spend less than 5% of my time in Java or shell scripting.
There's a fair amount of SQL, and we have a proprietary HTML templating
language that uses a lot of pseudo-Python. Other than that, it's all
Python, baby. We actually do have a fair amount of code in Postscript,
but I'm not one of the people maintaining that.
