Eek - Formula Translation - aaagh. Ooh the nightmares of coding in that. Bloody fast and very efficient but i still bear the trauma from cross coding from DEC to PRIME! LOL

Pascal could be interesting though if you're an ALGOL guy then C/C++ or Java and Python shouldn't be too far away from where you feel comfy. C might be the closest though.
