What language do YOU use?

Languages:
c# for a living, VB.NET in prior job, Perl (once upon a time, and yuck!), javascript, Borland Turbo Pascal (go pointers and inline assembly language!! -- also once upon a time), QBASIC (anyone remember playing a game called Nibbles?)

DBs:
SQL Server, although with .NET all you need is a provider interface and a good O/R mapper to use virtually any RDBMS. But as far as writing native T-SQL... I've only ever done it for MS products.

Meta and markup:
HTML, XML, XSLT

Thing I've never even seen and therefore think I've missed something :
Fortran, COBOL, Forth, C/C++ (my God, you people had to manage your own pointers and memory??... actually in Pascal I remember managing pointers to make linked lists and what could loosely be called OOP), 4GL, Delphi, punch cards

Mainly work in C or C++ although we are moving towards C#
Also if the job dictates Ada, Coral66, Forth, FORTRAN (including FORTRAN4 anyone remember it???), PLM but only when I really have too. Some variants of BASIC (HP, QBASIC, GW, Visual, REBATE)

Assembler : x86, z80, 1802 and 6502, but that was a loooong time ago.

Used to be able to hand edit paper tape once upon a time.... ah those where the days....

Script wise still play around with awk and DOS batch files. Just too useful sometimes!
HTML, JavaScript and a little XML not well but I can get by.

3TRAN, well its not quite FORTRAN , a custom language based on ANSII 77. Its sandboxed and tailored for GUI control and runs as an interpreted language inside another application.

Long ago in highschool some BASIC (starting on a Robotron KC85/2!), a decent amount of Pascal (Borland TP) and a little bit of PROLOG (Borland as well, I think). The only formal education in programming I ever got.

Didn't do any coding all through college until grad school, where I had to program stuff in VBA (for WorldUp). Still use it from time to time.

About a year ago I started coding in Flash ActionScript for work-related stuff. I also looked more deeply into VB.NET, C++ (what a pain!) and C# (.NET) to find something useful to learn for general purpose programming. I'm gonna stick with C#, I think. I love it!

Most recently I started looking into PHP for web stuff.

C, C++, Objective-C, Java, C#, Perl, Python, Ruby, Unix shell, LSL , x86 assembler, Haskell, ML, LISP. Oof. Time to pick a few and focus.

Smalltalk. Only.

I cant any other than put on or turn of - my comp and use my Mac - on latest software.


i have tryed to u-stand the scrip of rotating and flowing water.,. but.. hmm i need to learn more..

/Tina

Used recently: Python, PHP, and LSL

Know: Arexx, Pascal/Delphi, C++, Javascript, various forms of BASIC, SQL, XHTML, others I'm probably forgetting

My problem with languages is that I'm semi-allergic to "line noise" syntax.

SAS, Perl, PHP, Javascript, yawn. Dabbled in Applescript and Ruby, dimly remember some C.

One of my favourite languages is Inform, which is used to write interactive fiction, based around the format that Infocom used to use. That was the last thing I learnt before I started on Second Life; I suppose there's a natural progression of sorts there.

use now: MS Visual C++ & LSL almost exclusively
sometimes use: Java

have used: VB, Delphi (& C++ Builder), C, DarkBASIC, BBC Basic, more BASIC, 68000 asm, JavaScript, VBScript, Objective-C

hmm not as impressive a list as some but there are a bunch I used as a student that Im sure Im forgetting ( oh and about 2 weeks of Prolog, before I discovered you could do courses in AI without it , and I cant really count the tiny amount of 6502 asm I did on the BBC Model B )

Looking forward to Mono, as it'll be an excuse to finally look at C# - which Ive been too busy to do.
edit: Oh just looked at babbage's blog and saw that mono scripting might not (probably wont?) be using C#. Oh well didnt care that much about it anyway

Oh yeah, I forgot Prolog, I suppose I technically know that. And ML, in theory.

At work: C#, SQL Server
For fun: PHP, MySQL, Ajax, LSL
Dabbled in: Python, Ruby, Perl

Java is what I use most these days, have used ruby, php and javascript a bit for web stuff. I've also written a few small program in C, C++, C#, python and delphi.
Recently started playing around with smalltalk/squeak.

Is this part of the reason you're the guru for LSL memory optimisation Strife?

Actualy it goes back to how i learned to programing, and being a perfectionist (a tad too tightly wound, and a bit crazy; hence the first line of signiture).

Programing language are boxes. Each box a different shape. When they say "think outside the box" they mean "your head is in the wrong box".

I'm someone who likes to know the limits; to know the shape of the box. i like to have them well defined. If you know the limits you can build off them; you can exploit them. I've become good at optimizing because I've spent alot of time exploring the limits.

I've always had the internal challange for writing more efficiant code, in either size of speed.

Recently... as in, within the last year? C, Objective-C, Tcl, Applescript, ksh, bourne shell, Windows BAT file (don't ask), Perl, LSL (of course), SQL, Javascript, Forth, Awk, F-Script, maybe some C++ and Java, ...

I mainly use C++, and I'[d have to say that MS Visual C++ 2005 is probably the strictest compiler I've used (although it does have the bonus of being able to compile for x64 Windows). I've also used POVRay's Scene Description Language a fair bit. Who needs a GUI editor when you have a code-based one? Oh, and I've also covered just enough ActionScript to be able to port an old looping graphics program of mine from its original DOS C++ to Flash.

I can remember some Java, Perl, and Scheme (technically a dialect of LISP).

I've covered a few other languages while at uni, although I don't remember enough to be able to write anything in them. Let's see: Python (hated that one), 16-bit x86 Assembler (writing for DOS with that one, debugging was a major PITA), and Javascript (I think Java is better). Oh, almost forgot, I learnt a little UnrealScript, too. I don't think I could remember enough to write anything now, though.

While not technically a programming language, I do know basic HTML (mostly self-taught from studying web page code when I was in Year 7) and I hand-code all my HTML files.

I wrote my first program when I was in Year 4 in BASIC (I would have been 9 or 10 at the time). I dabbled in Visual Basic in high school (and Visual Basic for Applications in one uni subject I hated).

Hmmm... I should look into learning Second Life's scripting language sometime. Maybe when Linden Labs can provide us with offline sandboxes? (hint, hint)

Mbasic

Windows: if forced, ruby + gtk
web: rails
database: postgres

Games: LSL, Inform, Inform Assembly, TADS, ZIL (still learning in my limited spare time)

Web: PHP, MySQL, CSS, MIVA (haven't used that in years, awful language)

Amiga: AMOS, AREXX, Amiga BASIC, Assembly (very out of practice)

C64: BASIC, Assembly (extremely out of practice)

Misc: C (just enough to screw things up), MDL (see ZIL)

Note: Trying to learn a programming language (ZIL/MDL) by studying the source code to a single game (Zork in MDL), small clips of code (from Infocom games in ZIL), and an old Infocom training manual is quite a challenge. I suppose a working compiler would help LOL.

Any Environment: Python!! (http://www.python.org) Can do Java, VB, C++, many others if I must. Python is clearly superior to all of them.
Database: Don't have a strong preference. For a small project I'd probably try out MySQL.

Java, PHP, C/C++, MySQL, PostgreSQL, HTML, XML, XSL-T, JSP/JSPX, JavaScript, VBScript, CSS2, bash, SVG, ASM/PLU and other oldies like Basic, Pascal ...
Oh, I forgot LSL2

I like to create XHTML/CSS standard compliant webpages.
I tweak PHP scripts when forced to.
Other than LSL I don't know any programing language !

I find LSL easy (not thousands of functions) and fun (like a video game).

As with most, the list of languages I've used is huge going right back to things like C16 and ZX81 (that's right, C16, that's not a typo), but lately I'm mostly using...

Windows: VB.NET, sometimes a little C#, Delphi 7
(Delphi is only at work. OMG Delphi is painful to work with :/ )
Web: Ruby on Rails, Javascript, HTML
Database: MySQL, MS SQL 2000

Might as well throw in a penny..

Web Mainly: HTML, XML, PHP, javascript, Action Script (Flash) and under duress ASP, .NET
Played with: Many integrated scripting languages in things like SAM Producer etc
Ancient History: BASIC, Amiga BASIC

DB: MySql, Access, HanDBase (wow that was a blast from the past)

Just out of curiosity - C++ and C - whats the difference (and should I be bothered as all my stuff is done Net side?)...
