Here's a place to let people know what, exactly, you can hack. (Or use.)
(Edited to remove graduated students. Revert if you feel that is wrong.)
Also for those who feel that they are inadequate because they cannot program in TeX/Mathematica, there will be workshops on these topics during Winter Study. All Math majors will receive an email about this soon. Anyone else can sign up by emailing Rahul Shah (09ras) or look in the daily messages/other appropriate communication media. ==Computer The Devil's Languages==
===Assembly Language===
[[Jing Cao]] now knows he should extend before division [http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06tfv Travis Vachon08slh Son Ho] (kind of...I make things crash)
[[Paul N. Stansifer Arjun Narayan '0710]] (my claim to masculinity)Not good. Not good.
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=07jmc Jessica Chung[Jeff Marsceill '08]] (I'd be the a5 register on the emulator because that one definitely doesn't work.)
[[Jing CaoSean Barker '09]] now knows he should extend before divisionhad flashbacks during Compilers.

===CBefunge===
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=09ras Rahul Shah](is pretty much the God of C, but mostly because C stands for medioCre)
[[Jing Cao]] Compiled his second C program with no syntax errors
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix===Haskell===08xjh Jerry He] Just compiled his 300th C program with 33 syntax errors
[[Brent YorgeyArjun Narayan '10]] '04 (the most beautiful language ever -- don't give me this Ruby crap)Hello world only
[[Alan CordovaJeff Marsceill '08]] Booyah!
===C++===[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view/cj1 Chuan Ji] How do I deal with memory leaks?unix=06dpr Daniel Rooney] (disgusting)By writing code that doesn't have any.
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view/qz1 Qiao Zhang] How do I deal with memory leaks?unix=06emm Evan Miller] (shamefully well)I use smart pointers.
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=07jmc Jessica Chung08xjh Jerry He] (not bad either.)tentatively agrees
[[Alan Cordova]] Booyah! ===LabVIEWJava===
[[Daniel Klein Sean Barker '06|Daniel Klein09]] (knows too good for word processing)many of the libraries by heart.
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=07mse Matthew Earle08xjh Jerry He] (Offers TeX services for $10/hrUsed to be in the league but have since defected to using Lyx: the Wysiwyg Latex editor.)
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=07jmc Jessica Chung[Arjun Narayan '10]] (Would like her chemistry reports to be TeX-ed, but alas, converting chemical structures from ChemDraw to .jpg on her Windows side and then switching into her Linux side where the Windows side is mounted and then converting .jpgs into the accepted TeX format is too many steps. But if she ever decided aesthetics were worth everything and anything, she'd be all up ons for chem reports TeX-edCan barely survive it.)
[[Aidan Finley '04Rahul Shah]] spent a week teaching it to himself during Can TeX his thesis crunch, which indirectly contributed Math homework when he needs to a case of sleep deprivation and a subsequent fall in Sawyer Library. This in turn produced a leg wound which required hospitalization during Senior Week.
===Mathematica===
[[Joe Shoer '06]http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=08xjh Jerry He] (it's my thesis, and I can do more with it than the math nerds cana must-learn for any physics major)
===PARI/GP===
===Perl===
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06cks Kai Steverson/jmh1 $ perl -e "length q local and print chr oct ord q open do and print chr ord qw q uc q and print chr ord qw q lc q and print chr ord q tie lt and print chr ord q map m and print chr ord qw q ne q and print chr ord q q q and print chr ord uc q chr lc and print chr ord q ref or and print chr ord q msgctl m and print chr ord qw q s q"] (competent)
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=08jwc_2 Jing Cao08kch Katherine Huang] (kind sort of)
[[Brent YorgeyArjun Narayan '10]] '04 (JAPH)Also knows what all three letters stand for. And all three. And all three. And all three...
[[Bartley Tablante Sean Barker '0709]]also knows what the three letters used to stand for.
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=07yfh Young Hahn] (godly) [http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=08kch Katherine Huang] (sort of) [http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=07dcs Dave Senftcj1 Chuan Ji] (also knows what the P stands for) [http://wsobetter than Perl at least.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=07jmc Jessica Chung] (When really desperate and focused.)

===Python===
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=08xjh Jerry He]
===R===
[[Daniel Klein Arjun Narayan '06|Daniel Klein10]] But not as good as [[Aaron Schwartz]] (it makes statistics fun!)
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06emm Evan Miller08xjh Jerry He] (needs to learn how to put his skills on his own line but is probably very quite capable at R), more so than STATA
===Ruby===

[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06tfv Travis Vachon[Sean Barker '09] (well, at one point at least...)] and [[Charles Cao '09]] broke 8 microinstructions per ASM instruction

[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06dr David Rodriguez[Sean Hayes] (Has ridiculous photoshop skills and can do just about anything with a digital image given enough time) [http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=07im Ines Major] (also has ridiculous Decent skills)
===AppleWorks===
[[Jono Dowse '06Toby Hall]] (still uses it in drawing and painting mode. He is a 13-year Apple drawing veteran.) w00t
[[Laurie BrinkTed Wiles]] sort-of-(Ted is an amazing hacker and programmer. It isn'05 (disputes that this t uncommon for his digg.com articles to yield over 250 diggs in one day. He also is actually passionate about his art and has plans to do a "computer skill," seeing as the charming thing about AppleWorks thesis senior year that allows him to reinterpret famous art works completely through graphic design software. He is that it's infinitely more user-friendly and intuitive than Microsoft Officealso very good at hacking.)
