Fortran-77 is what we learned college (our final exams were submitted on punchcards). After a year or so, we moved up to debugging from hex dumps.

HAH! Joke’s on me. Can’t even keep from double posting on this new-fangled interweb thing.
I think that UVA is still using Lisp. I could be wrong, though, since I don't plan to take an AI course...I'm more of a systems and networks person.
It’s not your fault. Since you’re a conservative, Al Gore, the inventor of the internut, only sends an inverior version to your confuser.
Oooh, yes! Any cake left?

I think languages are like tools - they each are good for certain tasks, either due to their innate properties as languages, or due to existence of libraries and legacy code that can be used, modified etc. You really can’t compare C to Perl or to Lisp etc. - they are all really good tools for certain tasks and terrible choices for others.
I use C every day of my life and although the latest web app is surely not going to be written in C, just as surely linux kernel code is not going to be written in Java.
