I spent my youth coding in BASIC, as so many people did.

umm LSL. lol. Yup i'm a scripting newb and proud of it! never touched a script before SL, tho I know html but that doesn't count does it..
Of course I do sometimes wish I knew other "real" programming languages so I could do some cool xml-rpc stuff for SL, perhaps I'll get there someday. I have started to learn C++ so I'm hopeful. |

My very first taste of programming was Machine Language for the 6800 Motorola, next a Varian 100 Assembly Language, then BASIC, FortranV, varius comand line languages including VAX, VM, MVS, the tiniest bit of C, C++, of late, mostly PERL, Expect, Wish, TCL/TK, Python, Javascript, I've also used Korn, Bourne, CShell, REXX/AREXX, and some that I cannot remember any more. =)

REAL programmers use Malbolge. So, have you managed to prove that Malbolge is (or is not) Turing complete? _____________________

C# and Java for money, some C++ when needed (VERY rare nowadays, clients are looking for alternatives constantly). Also of course a slew of scripting and psuedo-programming languages DuJour, they are seasonal as clothing, jeez where is HugoBosScript.

I used C for several projects but will never again (code 1 hour, debug 10 hours).
PHP for the web... never again too. Java/JSP (will use that now, MUCH better) Used Mercury a bit, liked it (but compiler had a bug at the time, I left it aside). My favorite language is GNU Sather (sadly, it's dead). Attractive ones I'd like to try are Objective Caml and Haskel. Javascript rocks also ; better than Java. _____________________

Or nice clothes.  I like PHP, but would rather use PERL. I like C quite a bit. Objective C is pretty rad. C++ can bite me. I only use Java when I have to. As for JSP, IMO it's mostly only good if you don't do it the way you are "supposed to". And yes, Javascript has become one hell of a language. Are there any good server-side implementations of it? Or compilers? Wanting to learn Python next. |

There's a reasonably good server side implementation of JavaScript for .Net, though I don't use it since I'm all C# these days mostly.

Yeah... C++ is better for this. For example, if you used printf in C with an inappropriate type, your program might crash randomly 2 modules later. Using cout is much more type safe. Python is pretty good. Still getting to grips with the extent to which one would use it in large projects. Its certainly excellent for scripting. It runs *very* fast, has a concise syntax and decent builtin library. Morgaine considers that any large application should be written in Python, with the bits that need to be fast outsourced to C++ if necessary, but only where, and if, necessary. Most languages will do what you want in fact, so, much is a question of personal taste, and what one's own stock libraries are written in. I only know two exceptions to this really. One is COBOL.

C/C++, Perl, Python, PHP, BASIC, Assembly, OOT (Object-Oriented Turing ... similar to PASCAL)
(not really "code" but: HTML + MySQL) fav is python. use perl the most I don't really have much use for code these days except when experimenting with programming uh.. "music." _____________________

Just because I'm wierd and no one has mentioned mine, my two faves are Forth and Rebol. Beyond that, Python, Perl, TCL I mentioned Forth above (and if you look in the script library, I have a semi-functional Forth(ish) engine ported to SL). I currently am working on a new version of the engine, which while it deviates from ANS Forth standards even more than the first attempt, it's roots still are in Forth. If interested, I'd love to get input from someone about it's currently implementation and knowing Forth definately would help on understanding it's use. I took a quick glancing at Rebol, and it looks rather intreging (And the fact that the father of AmigaOS created it also helps.) I haven't fully examined it's syntax and whatnot yet (just read the overview), however if it is built for distributed computing, I wonder how much of it's ideas could be ported into a SL VM. |

Perl occasionnally in my job, C and vague recollection of Objective C in the past. And I think I coded in PPC assembly in a previous life...

I have job experience with Macromedia Director Lingo and Flash ActionScript. I have taught myself HTML, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL. I have played around with C/C++ and some Allegro and OpenGL APIs to get a little experience with graphics/games but forgotten it some because of my web development side.
This and plus all my job experience with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere, 3D Studio Max. Taught myself Maya 3D. What a brainwash... |

You are all such nerds!  Actually, you're all making me feel really stupid, since I like, maybe know some C++ and some Pascal and some (God help me for saying this) FORTRAN77. Oh, and BASIC, of course. And LSL. I guess MPI sort-of counts, if HTML does. LOL, they better count, because HTML, MPI, a little Flash, are IT as far as my coding experience. A little GWBasic, QBasic, and even less Visual Basic... Some minor playing around with PHP, ASP, CGI, and other web-stuff... I had the most fun with MPI, well, until I discovered LSL. _____________________

Eggy, Strife: Oddly enough, the creator of Malbolge is a good friend of mine. In fact, he played SL for a year or so.

Basic and fortran in my dim, distant youth.
ActionScript for Flash, LSL recently. I'm learning php. And yes I write html, and have been know to kick mySQL around a bit too. |

Since I decided to become a designer (a decision I'm starting to feel uneasy about, I'm now average at lots of stuff and great at nothing - I was probably the best coder in my year at school) I really just use Actionscript, PHP/MySQL and Javacript. In the past I've used a little C/C++, various BASICs, Pascal, whatever that limited language on TI calculators is and OPL (Psion PDAs, they were great ^^).

Langs:
C, C++, X86 ASM, Z80 ASM, Pascal, BASIC (although I never use it if I am not being forced to at gunpoint), ActionScript (the Flash 6 version), JavaScript, PHP4/5, LSL. DBs: MySQL, MSSQL 2000, little bit of Oracle. Crap that isn't a programming language: HTML, XML/RPC. _____________________
