Wow. That's surreal.

I have a hard time imagining someone who really understands software 
development and yet doesn't care if someone dictates what language is 
used.  And yet can be (equally, one hopes) productive whether working 
with VB, Lisp, Cobol, or Brainfuck.

Interesting.  I'm always stuck by people who don't get think that 
everything is fair game for questioning.
