I started in FORTRAN when memory was NOT cheap, lol. I always liked Cobol, loved C and think Java is pretty cool too. C++ is OK I guess but I’ve never seen a really good reason for using C++ over C or if you need objects over Java. Sometimes I have to talk to the hardware on a PC, so I’ll use a C++ compiler to link with C++ libraries but I still just write in plain old C code.

A lot of people don't realized that's why only the last two digits were stored and that's why so much needed changing for Y2K.

I can remember being chastened by a manger in the 1990's for designing records and code using four position years. I told him times had changed. Memory was cheap.
