    Hmm must have been to same uni then (UKC) the year after me they 
swapped to haskell.
    Oh the other language I rather liked at Uni was Ocaam very nice 
language really.
    My Wife works in Fortran 77 and I do quite a bit of Screenwrite (But 
not every day).
    Mostly its Qt/C++ and Python making the point that Qt/C++ is not 
really C++.
