  I don't understand what you guys are arguing
about.  Any programmer that I
 know who is under 40 only programs in one language: Java. 
So, a Java compiler isn't just a portable C preprocessor?   :-)
  The under age 40 system administrators that I know
can't program in any
 language unless you call python a language. 
What's a "system administrator"?
  There was one prediction that really went wrong,
     "I don't know what the programming language of 2000 will look like
     but I know it will be called Fortran."
     Tony Hoare circa 1982 
No, it won't be CALLED Fortran.
