| My Favorite Languages | |
| Language | Proficiency |

| Scheme | nice and clean |
| C | Expert, but only as implementation lang for above |

| Python | can read |
| Forth | implemented a few long time ago; now rusty |

| C++ | had to, but hate it |
| Java | sucks |

Programming for decades, came along many languages, but Smalltalk is still my favorite, followed by Scheme.
Recommended Literature:
SICP; its free online, but I think, good books should also be physically in the bookshelf (support the authors!) and they can be inherited to friends. I prefer hardcover over paperback or eBook - it lasts longer. (ISBN|0-262-51087-1, ISBN 0-262-01077-1 and others).
