Programming Languages

Post Reply New Topic

Currently I'm studying Java and Python, and know C.

What programming languages do you know?

A dialect of Basic on CP/M, SAS, B, C, C++, Objective C, Pascal, Fortran IV, PL/I, Java, Javascript, PHP, PL/pgSQL, Visual Basic (v3-4), Perl, x86 Assembly Language, Tcl/Tk, PL/M, bash shell language, and one or two languages that I made up and wrote a simple compiler for (I called them names like SimPL and PL/X86). I'd be rusty on a number of these languages now. I have also looked at D, Vala, Ruby, Guile/Scheme, Snobol, Lua, Icon, Euphoria, ...

Conspicuously missing: Cobol, C#, Python; functional languages like Caml or Haskell; and also Lisp - although I suppose I could say that I have taken a glance at Caml, Haskell and Lisp. Ditto Modula 2. My tastes (or distates) do not necessarily imply that I think a language is objectively "bad", just that I am not attracted to it for whatever mysterious reasons some languages are more attractive to me than others.

I'm studying Java (for school), Python, Ruby, and PHP. The language I'm most familiar with is Java; second is Python, then Ruby. I also know enough Bash to be competent in developing scripts. Though they are not programming languages, I'm also studying HTML5 and CSS3 for the client-side web development class I'm taking this semester.

The above plus PERL, one of the wittiest languages I have encountered.

If you have to write a script for a Unix system, do it in PERL

some C++.

C, Awk, Sed, bash, and Perl. I know the basics of Nasm. I dabble in Java, and Python. Any other language is easy to just pick up if needed.

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

Uh... Python and Java?
I feel inadequate

Learn one procedural language, one object oriented language, one mark-up language, and SQL and you have them ALL. Minor differences in syntax do not change the essence.

Mostly just C++ here. I also know some Java and C#, and intend to learn more pure C and assembly.

At various points I've programmed in:

Ada
Smalltalk
Fortran
Modula 2
Lisp
Prolog
SQL
VAX Macro Assembler
Java
Basic
Visual Basic
C / C++
VB.NET
C#
Perl
Python

VAX, Prolog and Modula 2? You must be one of the surviving programmers from Atlantis.

Have worked with:
- C
- Delphi
- PHP
- bash
- DOS batch files
- Javascript
- BASIC
- PIC 12/14/16xx assembly
- 8051 assembly
- 8085 assembly
- SQL
- a scripting language I created, with a sloppily designed interpreter

Have also played with:
- Java
- Ada
- Python
- C#
- C++

Also worked with HTML, CSS, and a wide range of single-purpose file formats (some of them XML based). A bit out-of-date though.

In no particular order:

• 8086/87 assembly
• C
• C++
• C#
• F#
• Pascal
• Delphi
• BASIC
• Blitz Basic/3D
• SQL
• XML
• (X)HTML
• DOS Batch
• Perl
• Java
• Javascript
• PHP
• Python
• Lua
• CSS

Plus a handful of script languages I've designed myself and wrote compilers/interpreters for.

Courtesy of my computer science degree coursework at University, circa 1991-1993 time frame - I thought most of these things were archaic, even back then, but they were effective at teaching some core programming concepts.

You were taught your trade by some of the surviving programmers of Atlantis.
