Given that a dram is 1/8 of a "fluid ounce" that leads to the
conclusion that a "wee dram" is based on US standard fluid once, vs British
standard fluid ounce...
My language preferences do tend to be the extremes: Python for quick
throw-away stuff, Ada for more formal stuff (since it has a much more
rigorous syntax than Pascal, Modula-2, C/C++, Java -- no optional block
delimiters, no dangling else, etc.)
Unfortunately, as a hobbyist dabbler at home, I can't justify the time
to port an Ada compiler to Arduino, TIVA, Propeller, Beaglebone (though the
latter may just be a case of porting the hardware access). So... I'm stuck
with variants of C for those devices (again, excluding the Linux based
Beaglebone)
