Programming
Currently, my main language is Perl. It's a powerful and flexible language, perfect
for text processing.
If you want to learn Perl (highly recommended), click here.
Other languages I am learning: R and F#.
I am also interested in OCaml and Standard ML, Clojure, C, PowerShell, Python, Ruby, Prolog, and C#.
Occasionally I write posts related to programming in my blog.
