I am thinking over your suggestions Boggess. C++ (with zillion library
options) and Python (a fair, straight and easy for beginners) are both in my
minds, but I think going with Python at first is better and then after
having known the basic principles, I can go in either Pascal or C/C++, both
of which are good! Yes, as it is apart from my job, so it would take some
significant time, though I am not in worries as I am trying for fun and
interest.
