I always tell people, once you take compiler design you should be multi-lingual. If you’re not you cheated to pass the course. :)

I never got to use LISP. Right now I’m doing a lot of Groovy, it’s a Java derivative. It’s awesome and very flexible. Used with Grails it’s potent.

I can code in AppleBasic :)

That’s the only official class I ever took. Was in HS in the mornings before classes for 6 weeks or so. It was fun I suppose.

I barely knew enough Basic to get by in my required CompSci class my Freshmen year in college.

I wish I had known more as it would have helped greatly in my Physics major and later in life.

Now I’m happy to be considered computer literate because I’m able to do Vlookup and pivot tables in Excel (LOL)

I am so out-of-date and so rusty that I creak bending over the keyboard. Once I left languages, I’m afraid I never looked back. Video caught my heart and soul and I was lost.
