I didn't post this. I came home from school and started wondering why I was getting so much traffic, and found this post in the referrals tab.

Hi everyone. Thanks for all of your comments. I just want to quickly elaborate on why I'm doing this and what I'm trying to do with this project: I am not trying to start a flamewar, annoy programmers, or hog attention. I am not aiming to master any of these languages after only a week. I'm not even trying to get "okay" at any of them. All I'm trying to get out of this project is a more broad understanding of the languages that are out there, and what, in a very general sense, each language is good for. My thought is that if I can get even one cool new idea or concept out of each week's programming language (like functional programming concepts from this week's foray into Haskell), I'll consider this project a success. Also, it will allow me in future to be able to quickly reference a new language if I need it for something I'm working on (not necessarily remember any syntax or anything, but at least to save myself some googling time). Thanks for your interest. Sincerely, Charles Dawson
