My folks had a landline with the same phone number for over 60 years. When I was a kid (65+ years ago), we didn't need to dial the area code and remembered the 3 digit exchange as 'NOrmandy 8' (n o 8 = 668).

I used many different languages to some extent (some pretty obscure) in my 50+ year programming career. Of them all I think I liked C most of all. It was a short step up from the assembler to learn and was easy for me to use. Being a control freak I felt it gave me the best product from my time. I found the C lib functions straight forward and manageable. This is just an old fart's opinion. I can get by in just about anything. There is truly nothing under the sun. The language syntax and organization changes but it is all pretty much the same.
