Believe it or not, there is still one bookstore in my neighborhood that has a large section on computer programming. I took a look around, and despite over 30 years in the computer biz, I had never heard of most of the languages. Then I realized they were for programming smartphones. I retired just in time.
I’m also very glad to be retired (& 77). Back in the days of the TRS-80, I learned Basic then later taught myself all the languages used for AutoCAD (the menu and lisps). Tried and failed to learn C++ later.

I’m surprised she didn’t just HIRE Taylor SWIFT!
(More Rita’s speed, doncha think!)

Unfortunately, Rita isn’t very swift. An older way of saying she isn’t very smart.

Maybe she would like to read up on Tom Swift and do it out loud.

Mostly like a cross between Objective C and Java, people familiar with both could pick up Swift in a couple hours.

Don’t give her any ideas.

Rita’s paycheck is practically approved embezzlement as it is.
