    40f low will not work. It would have to get to at least -20C in places. Even AZ and NM can get cold. I froze my butt off camping outside Tuscon once when it got to -20 C. They were opening shelters for the homeless and I was in a tent.

    It could also measure how hard a language is to use and how many Intro to CS courses require it :)
