I think I agree here too - most util I write for my own use end up being in
M2 or something related because I cannot be bothered to debug it more than
I have to.

For bigger projects involving other programmers I find myself stuck using
C++ because nobody else feel "up" to using Modula-x.

Too bad really, but I suppose that's why they pay me by the hour.
