First off, thank you for the informative reply. I’ll be sure to poke around and see if there are any groups around here that fit the bill! Answering your question, I’d say that Java, C#, and C++ are my strongest languages (by virtue of me having known them for longer than anything else), and I can safely say that I’d feel pretty comfortable talking shop about JVM or CLR internals at any level. As far as paradigms go, I’ve been adopting a strongly functional programing style with a healthy dose of aspect-oriented and actor-based system design (though I’ve started to be more wary of the former in favor of plain old composition).
