I wanted to learn Clojure some time back, Clojure being a nice functional
language that also parallelizes easily (given that the code can be
parallelized). I still consider my abilities lacking because of not being
able to implement concurrently executing code in the languages I know.
Project Euler seems like a nice place to start if I wanted to learn
Clojure.. :)
Coming to think of it, I never had a reason to learn C++ too. We were forced
to learn it in school and it stuck. Actually we had a choice between C++ and
biology and I thought I knew better ;)
