Ah, and do you know COBOL, Algol, Fortran and possibly some other horrors 
never
 seen implemented as a programming language on AmigaOS? I have the joy to 
work
with mainframes, where software written in these languages is rampant. I'm
happy to know COBOL and Python, apart from a bit Java, (A)REXX and perl. And 
of
 course shell scripting.

Possibly with C#, something good might come out. But then, do I have C#
compilers on Linux, MVS and AIX? If not, the problem's solved. I don't have
time to learn yet another API for programming.
