Survey - what language are you coming from?

Languages I use most of the time :
C - FORTRAN 77 - JAVA
FORTRAN 77 is for doing math. I like D because I'm tired of writing glue code
between FORTRAN or C and JAVA and because the object model is similar to JAVA's
one which I believe to be easier to use than C++ one and sufficient for most purposes.

I use TCL and PYTHON as scripting languages. I often embed an interpreter (Python
or TCL) in my programs to provide a macro language. It is useful for testing too.

The only thing that prevents me form using D for everything is the lack of a good
runtime library that covers most needs (like JAVA's one). I use D for fun and for
small projects, I don't use it for my job now. I hope to be able to switch to D in
the future.

Thanks a lot for 1.0 which works fine !
