Well if you write enough code in general, the principles stick with
you.  What I found with Perl was that after not using it for a while,
I completely forgot it.  I mean the principles were still the same,
but making any sense of the code depended on remembering a lot of
detail which had left me.  Python and C are not so much like that.
Lisp is somewhere in between.
