I am wondering in which areas is the most interesting work, esp. with
regards to challenging OO issues? And where is it boring?

I guess game-programming must be fun :-), but I am thinking of broader
areas like telecom, banking, finance, logistics, insurance, real-time,
embedded etc.

Also: how threatened is the most interesting work by off-shoring?

And: For the most interesting problems, are general languages like
Java, C#, C++ used? or more specialized languages like Eiffel and
Smalltalk? or scripting languages like Ruby and Python?

Thankx
