+## Languages
+
+My current programming language of choice is for most of my projects is [Common
+Lisp][].  I've used it for a variety of projects, including:
+
+[Common Lisp]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Lisp
 
-My favorite programming language at the moment is [Python][]. It's elegant,
-readable, powerful, and makes it easy to *get things done*.
+* A [CHIP-8 emulator](/blog/2016/12/chip8-cpu/)
+* My [Master's thesis in General Game Playing](https://github.com/sjl/scully)
+* Several [fun Twitter bots](https://github.com/sjl/magitek)
+* A [Prolog VM](https://github.com/sjl/temperance)
+* Lots of [Project Euler problems](https://github.com/sjl/euler)
+* An [entry in August 2016 Lisp Game Jam](http://stevelosh.com/blog/2016/08/lisp-jam-postmortem/)
+* An [entry in Icelandic Game Industry Community Game Jam](https://github.com/sjl/antipodes)
+
+I also gave [a talk](https://youtu.be/UfZvP0v3NbM) at the 2017 European Lisp
+Symposium in Brussels about General Game Playing with Common Lisp.
+
+I've also had significant professional experience programming with [Python][],
+[Django][], [Scala][], [Clojure][], [Java][], [PostgreSQL][], [MySQL][], and
+lots of various glue languages like [bash][].
 
-I've also had experience with [Java][], [C][], [C++][], [Lisp][], [SQL][] and
-[PL/SQL][], [JavaScript][], [Groovy][], and [bash scripting][]. I've used a
-number of markup and templating languages, including [XHTML][], [XML][],
-[CSS][], [JSON][], [Markdown][], [Django][]'s template system, and [Jinja2][].
+I've had some professional experience with frontend languages like
+[JavaScript][], [CSS][], [HTML][], and [Django][]'s template system, but I don't
+consider myself a frontend developer and prefer to work mostly on the backend
+side of things.
+
+I have some passing familiarity with [C][], [C++][], [Scheme][], [Groovy][],
+[C#][] (through [Unity][]), but I don't consider myself experienced in any of
+them.
 
-In my free time I'm working on learning [R][].
+I also wrote [a book](http://learnvimscriptthehardway.stevelosh.com/) about
+[Vimscript][vim], which is freely available online and has sold over a thousand
+copies of the ebook edition.
