"I know C thoroughly, though I barely ever use it these days. I used it for so long and during such a formative period of my overall programming career that I can read/write C code with virtually no spin-up time even though I find myself touching C code very rarely. Oh, and btw, when I find myself coding C on a nix box, I am still amused at how I have muscle memory for all those old emacs commands I also haven't used regularly in about a decade though I wouldn't be able to tell you what they are without doing some keyboard mime exercises."
Yeah, well, I guess that is a bit too long to be a poll entry.
I love muscle memory. I only vaguely remember how a keyboard is laid out- all I know offhand is things like Enter, "Q", Space, "F", and "A". If I ever need to remember which keys are where, I put my hands on the table and pretend to type.
