To fill my time between until bedtime, I decided to update the list of langauges I wanted to learn. Well, there are a lot; 29 to be exact. Now all of these 29 languages are ones that I have never even attempted to learn.
I still have nine langauges that I have supposedly learned by reading a book on them, but have yet to write a program for. Once again that is what my ``cvs update`` project is for: to have a small program written in every language that I feel I can, in good faith, claim I know.
Currently I am writing the specirfication of the program out. I am simplifying it somewhat in terms of output to more properly represent the purpose of it. Specifically, I want a visual cue that the program is executing and getting input. Originally I was printing out the types of file updates being passed in, but that is actually a pain in some languages and does not properly support the type of information I want. All I really want is either a simple ASCII spinner or a '.' to be printed out so I can see that it is going. I am leaning towards the spinner just because it requires more programming than just blindly printing a '.' for every line. Plus it just looks cool. =)
