No mic this evening. I'm Scott Gustafson, software developer just enjoying more programming languages. I offer over 30 years of software experience so can answer lots of questions. And I just enjoy hearing various topics.

Gave prompt in Russian to write the same things but specifically returned answers in English. Asked question in Russian too, answers were in English. Works as described above, but need to be careful with prompt.
