I'm not saying everyone needs a fast language, but porting Fortran to Python in order to optimize it probably won't be too successful

It's occurred to me that one of the more powerful projects I could do from a fiscal perspective would be to write a blazingly fast Python interpreter without a GIL.

I'm learning how to use Java. Also know bits of Matlab too. I'm fairly new to this though.

I usually program with Java, C++, Ruby, Python, C# or PHP. I've also been programming in Haskell and Basic many years ago. I can also work with most modern databases.

I focus on web application development, and I know most of the usual stuff there too, even though they're not really programming languages: HTML 4.01/5, XHTML, XML, CSS 2.1/3, JavaScript. Also Dart if it's worth mentioning

We use fortran at school, apparently there is a ton of legacy code around and its been the target of the largest optimization project ever. I still haven't noticed much of a difference in speed between even python and fortran. Python is ridiculously easy, so I mostly use python.

Perl, Python, and the rare rare rare Pascal.

C programming, GTK2.xx(GUI programming), Awk, NASM(netwide assembler). I tinker with python, Sed, JS. I've tried a bunch of languages.

Currently, I use C, C#, SQL, vbscript, XML, and reading various micro-controller assembly languages via the C compiler output listings. Occasionally I use Java. Most of my undergrad used Ada. I've used many other languages over the years.

Java, but I have been messing around with scripting languages like python just for kicks!

Hmm, lets see here..
HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, C#, Java, Lua and a little C++...and also SQL if that counts.

There are some windows only programs that use Delphi. For portable programs (which sometimes started out as Delphi) and for embedded processors I use C. For web pages Javascript (my least favorite). Used to do quite a bit of PIC assembly language but fortunately those days are gone.
