Makes me wonder, if you were taking a physics degree now what would be on the table?

I started on C++, then downgraded to C, I prefer life to be simple (?$%?). I also threw out the IDE's and installed ubuntu alongside Windows.

A few weeks ago I lost my desktop and could only work in recovery mode. It was great, like living in the 1970's. tty only, using Vim and Joe as editors and reading help pages with elinks. Bash is smashing.
