[Geowanking] Standard for Pseudocode

[Landon Blake]

I'm in my late twenties, and my languages of choice are Java and Python.
(I dabble in Ruby for customization of Google SketchUp.)

I'm guessing the old farts are using C, C++ or maybe Perl?

I wonder what younger people are using?

Maybe one of the Microsoft .NET languages, or one of the new languages
that runs on the JVM?

This is an interesting topic that I have not considered before.

Maybe, but it wouldn't be geographic. It would be demographic. Strongly
determined by the age of the programming population, I suspect.
