After some initial courtships (no names, sorry) I gave up falling in love with every new one that came along. I have yet to be satisfied by any language, and don't expect to be in the future. However that doesn't mean I don't have as good a time as possible with any language that seems appropriate to the time and place. Don Libes {seismo,mimsy}!nbs-amrf!libes
