Question:
I went to VVS ('01) a few years after you and heard a few stories about you from Thom. Anyhow, I have a background in linguistics and want to learn how to program so I might be able to chase after some of these jobs in computational linguistics. Half of them seem to want people to know Java and the other have both C++ and Python. Which language would you sta

Right on, hopefully Thom didn't admit to too much complicity! I don't know much about linguistics (though am fascinated by language), so I can't really say too much about what language would be good relating to it. For someone who wanted to learn the core of CS -- which IMO a big part of which is being able to run code as a processor would, in your head -- I'd suggest learning C (or a minimal subset of C++). For your needs, though, something higher level might be better. I'm not much of a fan of Java, as it is sort of ruined by the way its owners treat it.
