I'm working on things like pattern recognition and document
classification. This involves lots of mathematics and number
crunching. Most software in this field is written in C-like
languages.

Btw, I tried learning Lisp several times, and never got the 
hang of it. Although I like the pureness of concept, I just
can't write anything reasonably complex with it.
