I've chosen C, Python and Lisp: because those aren't languages, but mindsets, that allow freedom of thought and expression.

I am a hobbyist, so I am free to discard anything, that The Man wants to see in a resume. Hence I've never really got into Java (a nice language, turned into the Cobol of our generation -- to all people writting Enterprise: Java's blood is on YOUR hands!) or C++ (if C is a scalpel, then C++ is a chainsaw... while you're drunk... with someone preaching protected attributes and virtual destructors in Fran Drescher's voice).

But C has inherent beauty to it, expressed in terse verses of absolute and utter control.

Python structures my thoughts.

And Lisp is all that is and ever will be.

Amen.
