Ah John - you spoilt us with the charm and elegance of Java! It is such a beautifully structured language. But I understand that had a trade off - the JVM made code run slower.

I remember you pulling in those graphics libraries in C++ - MDL wasn't it? Although you taught it exceptionally well as always, I did not like C++. I'm keeping faith with your judgment to follow this Rust train.

As for the vi/emacs debate, I had been a Windows guy for years envying those guys with access to Sun Workstations. (I am still not fluent in the C shell for that reason, I am still winging it). I saw them using those weird looking editors and had no idea what they were doing. Can you maybe give us a tutorial on vi to get us up to speed?
