Hey! My first language was BASIC, when I was 11. And then I didn't program again for many, many years. Hmmm, you may have a point ;) I think Perl is probably a nice language to learn as a kid, because you don't have to worry about things like strict typing or memory allocation. - Ann _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
