I wouldn't say that I am particularly good in any of these, but I have taught myself bits and pieces of them:
-Autohotkey
-Visual Basic
-C-shell
-Bash
-Awk
-Perl
-Matlab
-FISH

I am also at least able to decipher how a Fortran or C++ code works.

Weather and climate models are all written in Fortran. Some of the code I had to hack into and edit in graduate school was nightmarish. 5000 line files, cryptic variable names, masses of commented out lines, and weird lines that seemed to do absolutely nothing. But anyways, Fortran is still widely used by computational modelers. Scientists don't do object oriented.

Mathematica.

The folowing is probably not considered a programing language, since it doesn't create computable functions, but it involves comands to construct mathematical notation. I'm refering, of course, to LaTeX.

Oh yea. I wrote my thesis in LaTeX. Pretty in the end but a real pain in the butt. One time I spent an entire week just trying to get a specific table to look right.

I'm new to programming. Right now, I'm learning Python then SciPy and NumPy. I just finished a Command Line course to use Terminal on the Mac.

Took C in college way back in the 90s. (Before that, did some Visual Basic at a summer program in high school and hated it.) Currently working on Python, HTML, and SQL. Play around with R sometimes for statistical stuff.

They taught us Java back when I was in college.

I had to use C, Python, MATLAB, Mathematica, Maple, and FORTRAN in some form or another in school, although that doesn't mean I can actually code in these. I'm trying to do Project Euler in Python now to re-learn programming.

Did you use YACC or did you just writer the parsing algorithms yourself?

Ha, I forgot, I was taught MatLab in my first Degree year! We don't use it from now on in software engineering, and I much prefer python and sagemath

Have done some R too for an assignment due on monday, find R useful but extremely clunky.

I also took C in the mid 90's. What I learned most was how to comment good, and a few tricks to avoid logic errors from typing mistakes. Plus a few ways to improve efficiency

Did some Basic way back in the 80s when I was a kid copying code out of the back of computer magazines into my VIC 20 & Com 64. Just took two semesters of Visual Basic, will be learning SQL starting in a couple weeks. We just got a new technology dean who changed the degree requirements from Visual Basic to Python. I'm grandfathered in on the Visual Basic but I'm considering taking the Python classes anyway. There is also a Java course offered. I'm not sure if I should take that too or if they're all similar enough that I could figure it out fairly quickly.

For those of you addicted to Object Oriented languages I have not heard a peep about Small Talk, the grand daddy of the Object Oriented languages. Nor have I seen hide nor hair of Algol, ADA, Snobol or PL-1 around here. That is what happens when one is a pre-historic programmer or, if you will, a cave-programmer. An algorithmic Neanderthal.

LISP anyone? Fortran? Jovial? Pascal? COBOL (! !! !! !!) Am I the last surviving programmer from Atlantis?

Here is a list of them all: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pr ... _languages

I did some COBOL once and I had to learn it in college. I have heard of Fortran, Algol and LISP but never programmed those.

I did mention Smalltalk, but I just realized I forgot ADA (took a whole semester advanced course on it) and even Simula-67 which we used in sophmore comp. sci.
