Just this guy, you know? I am normally up to my armpits in computers - these days it`s modelling and simulation, with a lot of Java and Python, for work. When I say work, I mean running around as an engineer who is trying to predict what will happen if things go wrong, or otherwise get interesting. Let`s see what happens if we pressurize a gas pipeline to 13 MPa, and then suddenly smash some large fittings off the pipework. Anyone? Guys? Too much? OK, then let`s see what happens if we set a few autonomous forklifts off around the smelting plant... What - they need a pathfinding routing? Sigh... what`s this A* thing? So that`s a lot of HYSYS/UNISIM, OLGA, and AnyLogic as far as proprietary simulation packages go, and it`s Java, VBA and (recently) Python as far as commonly used programming languages go. I am currently learning Python, and spend most days slack jawed at how easy this is compared to other languages I`ve used.
