to "master" Smalltalk and C++.....for example, which flavor of Smalltalk
and which flavor of C++ are you the "master" of?  If you work on JAVA 
you can be certain that you know the language.

How do you think JAVA will fare when it has 16 years under its belt like
Smalltalk, really.......look how fast this is happening, aren't at least
interested in it since you are in this forum?

Just a few thoughts from...
