I have spent a lot of time with C. But it's hard for me to learn and
there are various factors there. That sage looked good. But as a language
for *nixs and their respective APIs sockets, sys calls and such there's C.
Fortran might still be a choice. Perl looks really easy. But I haven't
gotten into any of these because I'm still halding out for one that appeals
to me.
