Just talked with a very skilled associate. He prefers Java over C++,

PERL. I found PERL to be a strange language to work with (you
definitely need your PERL hat on, like Scheme).

Python will be my next project, but I find Perl incredibly natural.

Perhaps it says something about my mental outlook :-)

'There was a Perl hacker named Ray
Who wanted the time of the day
He pushed and he popped
He shifted and chopped
'Till tomorrow was somehow today'

and

'Roses are red
Violets are blue
Taint check your scripts
Or I will 0wn j00'

(I'm not sure where I saw either of these two things, but I definitely
live by the latter).
