...and you could give up GOTOs any time you wanted to? You just don't

I may  re-learn to program soon. I'm thinking of using either Python or 
Ruby because they were designed with object-oriented techniques in mind, 
which seem to me a better way of thinking about and modeling real-world 
problems.

(Opens can of worms) What about C#? Staffs. Uni. use Java as a first 
teaching language now and C# is reputed to be a better Java. Mono C# and 
IDE seems to work now and there is good beginner's material on-line.
