I prayed to larry, to matz and to gweed
I thought they provided everything I need
But then SICP i did read
now there's no place that's sweeter than LISP

Good job, OP.
Perl is an awesome language, I'm sure you'll love it.

You have some of those in the wrong order. I think you meant:
scheme > python > lua > everything > perl > sepples > factor

I, for one, are offended by your use of code tags on a non-code comment, unless of course you were writing in a high-level pseudo-code that i am not aware of. If that is the case, please disregard this comment.
>>17 I believe you are a person that overuses punctuation in order to make yourself seem enthusiastic about a rather dull subject.

I'm with you. I mean I am interested in giving other languages a shot and it's refreshing to work with other languages. But when it comes down to it, I don't feel like I need anything besides C to accomplish what I want to do with 99% of the ideas that interest me.
>>22
Why?
You can achieve anything in C that you can in other languages(as well as a lot more), it just takes a little longer.
Don't badmouth C just because you lack the discipline and patience required to do anything significant in it.

Yes, you can achieve anything in C, you can do it in even less capable languages, but wouldn't you prefer using your time more productively for the cases which don't require as much speed as possible?
>>27
I enjoy writing C.
and when I'm writing hobby programs I use a languages I enjoy.
I believe that the extra time it takes is well spent because a lot of it is digging around in man pages and such, so I learn more about my system

Excuse me. I'm an EXPERT C PROGRAMMER and have more than 1 package in the debian repositry written in PURE LEAN C and I too was once enraptured by the purity of c. However, as I have matured, I have come to acknowledge for LARGE SCALE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT, it can be tiresome
