It's the wave of the future! Actually I have absolutely no idea, but I do enjoy reading about programming and such so keep me updated, especially if you come up with any fun projects to do with whatever you decide on. COBOL!

I've also been interested in OCaml (and by association, F#). In my mind, I'm also interested in evaluating Erlang as a replacement for C++ in certain MMORPG server processes, but in actuality, that ain't happenin' here. I heartily endorse watching this talk by Rob Pike (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=810232012617965344#) and then picking up Stackless Python. The threadlet-and-channel model for doing Hoare's Communicating Sequential Processes is, I think, the programming abstraction of the future. I'm still skeptical of some basic things about Google's Go, though, so I'll stick to Stackless. I'm honestly still trying to get the knack of thinking that way, but I think it can be incredibly powerful.

I remember the TI-Basic stuff. Well, not remember. Just remember using it. I'd almost say go back to one of the older ones (C, C++, PHP, Obj-C) and learn it really well. Unless you use them from day to day still. In which case, I don't know. Oh man. I remember the TI-Basic stuff. Well, not remember. Just remember using it.
