Love for Python
#5
i started with Python around 2010.  i had been doing C since 1982 and gradually quit doing C, even for system stuff.  i have also been doing Pike since around 1992, about as long as i have been using Linux.  before that i was using SunOS, NeXTOS, and a few others.  i started with mainframes in 1972 and got into VM/CMS in 1976 coding in assembler language all the way (except for assignments in a couple COBOL classes i took to raise my GPA).  i did look into ways to port gcc to IBM mainframes but that never went anywhere.  i also got into TOPS-20 on a DECsystem20/60 in 1982 which was my start in C.

this all delayed my ham radio license which i finally got in 1986 ... [removed]

now i need to find a way to do a certain Linux syscall that is not present in the os module.  but, it is in libc.  i heard there is a way to invoke functions in binary libraries. from Python code, but i have not found it.

What do you call someone who speaks three languages? Trilingual. Two languages? Bilingual. One language? American.
