That does not matter. The average training in language X where people put X in their resume and their employers are happy is much, much, much less than HtDP. (Also, it isn't really Scheme that matters - it's functional programming.) I completely agree with Neil that it would be useful. They don't have to be current numbers. They could be an estimate, ... whatever. But having that kind of statement would help people like Neil and me. -- Cheers =8-} Mike Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://list.cs.brown.edu/mailman/listinfo/plt-dev
