Where the heck does 17457 come from? Bill Gates is rich. What language does Bill Gates like? I don't see why anyone who'll be programming professionally shouldn't be able to pick up the essentials of Fortran(90/95/hpf), C, C++, Eiffel, Java, Smalltalk, perl, or Ada(95) in short order, especially with a good grounding in object oriented programming. (I notice no languages emphasizing functional programming are in the list.) -- qpliu.sbtrj3mjmclfclcclcnfclecljpclsclpmclace@born.ph.utexas.edu
