>However, perhaps we should ask the OP what he's planning to do?

Deliver agile custom software development services to the architecture, 
engineering, and construction industry.  It would be nice if I had 
something more specific at the moment :-)

also:  Design and implement a CAD file format which is usable in 
multiple languages, including C, C++, perl, python, ruby, bash, etc.  
Maybe this involves writing libraries in all of these languages and 
more or maybe just collaborating with those that are.  In any case, I 
had better (like any tourist) at least know how to ask where the 
sys.stdout is.

The curiosity about other technologies (I know Linux, Perl, ~Python, ~C, 
~Fortran, ~~Ruby, ~~C++, ~~Win32, ~~~?Lisp) is mostly about knowing 
"what I don't know" so that I can figure out what I need to know and 
whether or not I'm missing something.
