yes, main language these days.

No, because I have to lecture too much.

If a language isn't generating massive libraries, it's dead.  You need to 
be able to slurp the latest XML & throw up the latest GUI widget by doing 
a google search, not writing it yourself.  So I'm having my students use 
python now instead of lisp..

We'd take them as students.
