I don't really call myself a programmer, more of a Network / Sys admin. PHP and Java is enough for me. Yes I program for a living right now, I also do alot of other things at work. Alot of people dont have the patience to program in any language, or even more then just one. If I HAD to learn C++ im sure I could, but I sure as hell do not want too, to much work for me to get something done. PHP is a good language for starters, lots of flexibility, which can be a bad thing, but its pretty easy to teach people the basics of programming with PHP. Java is good for background tasks, not GUI, not web. As for smalltalk, the only time I have even seen people talk about it or heard about it is here in this group. No real use in the real world.
