I've been keeping a list of all the languages that I've ever used since I
was a stripling; it's up to 48, and that's counting all assembly languages
as one etc.  That's about one language for every year that I've been a
programmer :-)

Yes, I try and teach myself a new language whenever possible; I'm
currently looking at Ruby as a lightweight replacement for Perl (I run
screaming from Python and its silly indentation), and Perl/Tk for a GUI
for some scripts that I wrote (mostly puzzle solvers).
