Fox1545 is on a distinguished road
I met a bunch of nice people, and even though many of them left Graal long ago and stopped all contact, I still hang around with some pretty cool ex Graalians. Quite a few of them moved on to more interesting things and dragged me along, too.

I am with osrs on the "learned English but it probably sucks" thing. I also learned GScript, but considering the way Graal is going, one of these skills will be totally useless in the future, while the other might have got me into programming.

GScript was the first programming language with remotely C-style notation I learned, so I adapted quite a bunch of code formatting style from Stefan, though I am phasing that out in favour of more C++ std::-like things. Stefan also thinks too much Delphi.

While GScript taints my programming style up to today, the informatively sheer stupidity of a lot of Graal scripters certainly improved my vision for retarded ideas of what is safe or secure. Graal scripting was kind of a mini universe of the internet. A pretty stupid internet.

The Graal forums probably also turned me into the internet troll that I am these days, and taught me how to not run a community.

Am I supposed to add some more whining about devoting so much time and skillful effort into the game of the dude who eventually dropped my account because his minions do not like me?
I suppose growing up with Graal was quite useful.

Also, wannabe geek from above in the thread, go with Ruby. It is better for your sanity than your current career plans.
