Hmm... good point! I should have phrased that one differently...

Wait... you *learned* predicate logic?
Like, in a *class*?? o_O
Damn... Sometimes I forget just how incomplete my own education was...

If you include the most basic shell scripts, batch files, or excel
formulas, then yes. Haven't used a real compiler since 1996.

University, Computer Science. Too bad it's not really used in IT jobs. So many
bugs and half-baked business rules would just be a thing of the past, I guess.
