Tom,

There are still plenty of us around who know more than simply a smattering of C++ and Linux (smile).

In my repertoire, I can count FORTRAN, BASIC, C/C++, COBOL, PL/I, various assemblers (System/360, IBM 1620, IBM 1130, PDP-11, VAX, ALPHA, x86, nVidia, 12-bit PIC, and others), plus the usual collection of command languages.
