[ale] Any language (wuz: Assembly Language?)

[Leam Hall]

Ron, et al,

I think the most motivating things about a language are the community 
you associate with and the "fun" you find in the language. Right now, 
PHP is the most "fun" for me so I am building my software engineering 
skills with it. I want to learn, or re-learn, other languages, but of 
the ones I know PHP is the most fun.

That's a big decider for me. Then finding a community to have fun with.

I've been meaning to reply with further comments and questions.  However, I've had almost no mental or physical energy today.  I'm not sure why.  Hopefully, whatever it is will go away and I'll be back in the groove shortly.
