Same thing, but I suspect that it would take more than a day or two to get back into some of the stuff that I haven't touched for many years. I did quite a bit of I4GL and ESQL in the '90s but I expect that both would inspire plenty of confusion if I looked at them now. Similarly VB.NET - even though I use it from time to time - just doesn't stick in my head as a language.

On the other hand, I haven't programmed in pure C for a great many years but I have no problem reading C code and I don't think it would take me very long at all to start writing it again.
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.
