There may be a few college professors who make too little
fun of those languages, but I am quite sure that I am not
one of them.  I rather suspect that I do too much of this.

And if I insist on being far behind the state of the art
in industry, it is because I am ignorant of how far the
industrial state of the art has advanced beyond the things
that I insist upon teaching.
