Definitely. And along the way, you also (hopefully) remember what each language's specialty is. When you're faced with a problem, you're then able to "call" the ideal language for the task. The larger your arsenal of "languages I have known", the less "all I have is a hammer, this problem looks like a nail" code you end up seeing on TheDailyWTF.com :) ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
