cout << "C++";
WriteLn 'Pascal';
form1.print "Visual Basic"
...it's been awhile since I've done any pascal. Can someone refresh my memory and tell me if strings are in single or double quotes!? :D I forget ;[

Purge the evil filth of Pascal from your memory, and you don't have to worry.

Easily: English
Moderately: French & German (and Latin, for if I meet any passing Romans)
Poorly: Serbo-Croat (as was), Scots Gaelic.
Quite a collection of dead languages there.

writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
writing haskell makes your life easier:
reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

> Do you mean TI89?
aww...you must have been one of those commodore users. (or was it a Radio Shack TRS-80?) Go back about 15-20 years, and there was a wonderful computer from Texas Instruments:
***** TI-99 4/A *****
Had its own programming language, called Basic. Loads of fun. I had a TI-99 with a peripheral expansion box (had a 360k, 5.25" floppy drive...one of the firsts), speech synthesizer (only took pc's 15 years to catch up), 300bps audio cassette storage system for programs (had that before the floppy) Man! Those were the good-old-days. I think I still have that beast somewhere. Maybe I can get it out...see if it still works.

Damn right it does. Add it to my list, forgot I knew RPN!
My first ever scientific calc was an HP35 which I bought when I started University in 1974, then went upmarket to an HP45. I worked for HP for 2 years, 20 years ago and had 3 company calculators: an 11, a 12 and a 41. ALso had a company HP85 desktop computer - remember them? Then we went for CP/M on the HP125.
I've wondered elsewhere in this forum what the world would be like today if Digital Research's CP/M86 had become IBM's OS rather than Microsoft's.
