I know python is his favorite, and he likes Haskell. I think he does Perl, and of course Bash. And C++. He can do Java, but he had a project using it last semester and he complained about it nearly every time I saw him. Mainly something about signed bits, like Java doesn't have unsigned bits or something. (I don't really know what that means so I apologize if I'm not making sense.) I haven't ever heard him talk about C#, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Bash is a script, not really a language per say -- same with Perl.
Python is cool. Haskell is a functional language...and functional languages are fucking weird. C++ is kind of low-level. His Java complaint is silly, since Java is a high-level language.
Anyway, his Python knowledge is probably what's getting him the job offers.
Okay, see, I don't really know things. And whatever he was doing in Java made that a big issue. I'm sure he's capable of doing things in Java if he needed to or that was the best option, he seems to be a pretty well rounded programmer, I just know he was really frustrated with Java during that project.
I have to learn networking stuff for my job. Also I have a 3 day weekend after last week's 4 day weekend. God I love being paid by your tax dollars to do this.
I know right? I'm defending Oosa's freedom by not doing anything.
Still most powerful military in the world.
Oosa ain't got shit on Pitcairn Islands.
What's that? I can't hear you over your teen pregnancy rate!
