If you want to modify gcc, you'll probably want to learn LISP since it uses a LISP-liek language internally for certain things. >[D]oes anyone here >have a link to a video of William Shatner delivering that famous three >word line in a Saturday Night Live sketch from the '70s or '80s? It was posted on /. today. In any case, for a certain type of programmer, learning a new programming language is like discovering a new author, composer, or artist. The better languages have a "fingerprint of beauty" that is visible in each of the better programs written in the language. Of course, some languages (INTERCAL comes to mind) just make the brain hurt.
