also, I've noticed that at my local school
most of the computer
science majors use C, so I figure that if I learn C, I can at least
understand that course material on some level.
As you might guess from what I've written in this thread, I am
quite interested in programming langauge research. From what I
have seen of this feild, the vast majority of programming
language centered computer science research (ie PhD research
and papers in reviewed journals) is done around Haskell and to
a lesser extent Ocaml.
