I have been writing programs for such a long time that my first computer was an abacus - a serious one - it had 21 rods! My problem is that I write terrible code for others to read. It usually works, but is no fun to look at. My other problem is that I am not keeping as current as I should - I nowadays program by habit. I think it is fair to say that I write stuff in C+ (more than C, but hardly in a full C++ dialect). But I have written (and taught) a variety of languages. My favorite thing to do is to run down and squash nasty bugs, and my own code gives me all the opportunities I could ever want in that regard!
