Nice assortment of languages. You aren't missing on anything important, except you still need to read SICP and learn Scheme to complete your path to Enlightenment.

Yeah so let me guess, getting married and having a kid or many will complete my life?
You're so.. simple.
Also, the library i work is a very quiet place, nice temperature, i can bring my laptop there and i can read any book i want.
And ofcourse i get paid 800$/month which is not bad at all.

But >>59 has a point, though not the way he thinks. >>52,58 should make sure that his life is meaningful. This means he can do one of the following:
1. The standard serving: Get married and have children, especially if you're white; we need them.
2. The /prog style: Read SICP, achieve Satori, meditate on processes.
3. The FYAD style: Start a business that rapes the environment, makes people fat, works for the Bush government, or just join Microsoft.
I got bored writing this, you continue.

If you're in the USA, it's not good at all. If you're outside the USA, please clarify which country are you in. In other countries, $800 is alright because everything is cheap.

Dude. Get some programming job. I live in a country where stuff tends to cost half of what it does over there, and I make about $2500 a month.

He must have other income or support. You can't live on $800/month.
This thread has made me sad. So many virgins and poor people.
I think happiness comes down to memories worth replaying in your head. For most of us, I would think that's (1) the first 2 years dating a sweet person, (2) trips to some spectacular sights like Glacier National Park, (3) really good jokes and the parties where they were told, (4) somebody that helped you out and showed you loyalty when you were in need, and (5) really good sensual experiences like delicious coffee or early 1970s music (I guess #2 fits in this category).
Programming can be interesting and profitable, but as a source of happiness it fails.
Off topic, but I'm gonna hit the Reply button anyway cuz I'm drunk.
I've got plenty of good memories of your categories (2), (3) , (4), (5). But fail it at (1) - I had a girlfriend for almost a year, it was a wonderful experience at the time but ended in shit and fail when she cheated on me most severely and ended up leaving me for the other guy. Since then, I've dated a few girls but I just can't trust anyone enough to pursue a 'proper' relationship. I am broken.

1: That would be great if I could find a decent girl. I'm 26, and in all these years I've only found the stupid ones - ladder theory at its best, and they're so mindless I end up disgusted and never want to see them again. First off, they can't talk about anything that's not chit-chat or clothes. Second, if I introduce any interesting topic and they manage to understand the point I'm making, they'll often reply with such idiocy I feel like somebody threw a bucket of water on my face.
2 and 3 are there. 4 is there in a way - I have a friend I know he would do that, but now that I think of it I've never needed help in the few times I was in big shit, I always managed to do everything by myself and that's how I like it because I don't like to owe anything to anyone. For 5 "really good sensual experiences" I'll count fapping to incest hentai.

Watching Abelson and Sussman on SICP is as memorable as your first fuck.
