Wow man what a whole bunch of virgins here... I'm a professional C++ developer, I'm young and strong. I bench about 250, what can you weakling SICP nerds do? I've seen RMS, I know what LISP dialects can do to people. C++ is probably the only real language that gets used in businesses, so if you WANT to get a job outside of college(where your mom sends money off so you can sit on your ass and be a weakling virgin nerd) then you better learn up on C++.
