You and I have seem to have a similar history here.  I read like 7
books cover to cover and became an "expert" on C++.  I guess I took a
little longer than you to get fed up with it, though.

My C++ usage really came to an end when I started using Ruby.  SOOO
much easier and more consistent.  User friendly.  Now, I use Ruby for
everything, except GUIs, where I use Java.  For school, I'm using Ruby
for genetic algorithms.  When I desperately need performance, I write
a C extension for Ruby.

I'm no longer obsessed with maximizing performance of the machine.
Now, I want to maximize my performance as a programmer.
