>and can't stand Python/Ruby/C#/OtherNewFangledLanguage types
Can you not stand them because you tried them and decided that they don't fit you, or because you refuse to acknowledge progress?
I won't commit an appeal to novelty by claiming that new programming languages will always be better, but to stubbornly stick to C, Perl or other good ol' languages for no other reason but waving your cane at the new kids in town is equally as close-minded.
The world of programming is so interesting precisely because there are always new things to explore, recent inventions and innovations to marvel and old concepts to learn, rediscover and improve.
