Re: [OT] Jargon file ?

10+ computer programming languages, to be precise...  And those are just
the
ones I'm fluent in and I've done something with.  But in reality, it's
not
nearly as impressive as it sounds.  Your first language will teach you
50% of
what you need to know about all other languages, and 90% of what you
need to
know in a language class/type.
