      Have you ever tried to program in LISP? Certainly that is one too many languages.

        Do we have too many dialects in the world or too few? Every language has its purpose and those who like it.

          The 3-legged stool of understanding is held up by history, languages, and mathematics. Equipped with these three you can learn anything you want to learn. But if you lack any one of them you are just another ignorant peasant with dung on your boots. R. A. H.

              Never mind LISP - have you tried APL? :omg:
