I am resonably experienced with asp.net and would like to learn a new language with a focus on web development.

Hello, Sometimes I really wonder if my code is "lastable". I do everything to make it "last" and avoid depending on things while writing or solving problems.

You are given all the prime factors of a number, along with their multiplicities (highest powers). The requirment is to produce all the factors of that number. Let me give an example: Prime factors: 2 (power: 3) 3 (power: 1) (meaning the number is 2^3 * 3^1 = 24) The expected result is: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 I'm thinking of d...
The title may seem slightly self-contradictory, and I accept that you can't really learn a language quickly. However, an experienced programmer that already has knowledge of a few languagues and different styles (functional, OO, imperative etc.) often wants to get started quickly.
