OK then. I will. C++ is fantastic. Most likely for jobs you would not or 
could not use Ruby for. The products I work on require C++/C and 
assembler. You couldn't possibly write them in Ruby. Even if you could 
they would be too slow.

When I'm not using C++, Ruby is what I am using, or intending to use.

Java - I always felt like I was writing code whilst wearing a straight 
jacket. In 9 years of using Java (I started in May 1996) I didn't like 
it - but you use what you are asked to use by the customer.

Merry Christmas

Stephen
