Pascal? I thought our company was the only one left in the world that still used Pascal. :lol:

Hell no, I bet there's still quite a few of us still knocking about!
It's a lovely language which to me, has exactly the right balance of terseness/wordiness to express an idea.

I guess I'm proud that I love languages and am good at learning them.

Yeah. It's a nice language. Not like some that pure torture to read.

I am good at baking, and moreover I was good at it when I started with no training or special studying.

I'm told I'm a good painter but art is so subjective (and people can be so patronizing) that it's hard for me to tell if it's true. That's also self-taught.

I like your paintings. They are very fluid.

I was once told that you don't write programs with COBOL, you write novels.
Seems about right... :lol:

I write well. I am borderline cocky about it, except other writers think I write well.

University/school, particularly chemistry/physiology/pharmacology/biochemistry. Unfortunately I'm not very good at practical application.
