right on. Its no problem.
Perhaps I was mistaken. I took your saying "I know" to mean "I have coded in each of these languages and could do something in each if I had to", instead of "I would be comfortable in a programming environment with any of these languages".
My bad.
btw I actually am trying out SICP right now, despite my C# leanings.

Looks awesome! If I wasn't trying to pick up OCaml and F# right now I'd jump on it -- one of the problems I'm facing is a lack of good texts. Would be very interested in your opinion of the book and Lisp, especially coming from a C# (like me) background.

Yeah. I definitely will. I am also giving PLINQ A try. This, all because I am finally realizing that concurrency is the future.

Paralellism is the future. That means, to some degree, functional apps.
Do you really think most readers have 8 languages under their belt, with real, live, production systems written in them? It would be interesting to put on an AskYC question. I don't know the answer one way or another. For some reason I kind of thought most of the readers, while super hot on the technology, were newer to the party than that.
