>I do like C# and Java (well, I use to like it but the last thing I did with it was taking a course on using CORBA with Java in 1998!),

Things Aspect Oriented Programming or the heavy configuration depending Spring oozing reflection and dynamic class loading IMO point in part to the weakness of single inheritance.

> I never liked C, and that carried over to C++, last time I worked with C++ was a couple of years ago to customize a video wall input console, a program that is
still running, and I really hope there is no need to change anything on it, as I hated every second :)

I used only part of C and had created some mnemonics via included .def... C++ began as small Frankenstein and mutated/cacinogened in some parts

Perhaps that is the reason I like reading Python - have not learned Smalltalk ;-)
