i write html, but i don't think that counts as programming. |

At work I mainly use C, C++, and Perl, along with some application-specific languages. At school I program in whatever they tell me to program in, though if I have a choice (some professors will let you choose between C/C++ and Pascal) I'll choose C++. Perl's a fun language and I'm finding that I like it better the more I use it. |

I use Visual Basic, SQL, HTML, Javascript, C and Assembler in my work. I can use Pascal, C++, Modula-2, BASIC, and I know a bit of Eiffel, Ada, Clipper, COBOL, Oberon, Delphi... BTW: My favourite language is C++, of course. |

I do some very basic HTML (by hand) for my homepage. I use also some sort of LISP to make custom routines in Cakewalk, a midi music program. I use also some others not listed : at work, mainly Power Builder and some Clipper 5.01, and a lot of POV-Ray script at home (Raytracing). |

you left out APL! :) Now that I've started programming in Java, I can barely stand programming in C or C++. I find Perl aesthetically distasteful sometimes (and very elegant some other times), and appreciate the fact that I can write a 10 page C program in one page of Perl and (if I try) still have it be comprehensible. |

PostScript, Hypertalk (that apple hypercard abomination) |

I haven't used BASIC since we got rid of the Commodore 64. They made me use FORTRAN77 in college. I've just started checking out the Newton ToolKit and NewtonScript. |

A newer version of BASIC called Liberty BASIC that is for working in windows environment. I don't use any of this stuff in my work, but just enjoy learning new stuff and playing around with it. So I've picked up HTML (not really programming), JavaScript and now I'm learning Java. |

SQL and occasionally i have to interface with other human beings. ugh. oh yeah, Tcl. Lots and lots of Tcl. |
| elijahblue | | posted 26-Mar-1998 7:53pm |
I know some BASIC, PASCAL, and HTML. Not expert at any of them. |

very rudimentary html, just what I need to know to make my homepages |
bill  | | posted 30-Mar-1998 6:10pm |
FYI - Survey Central is written in Perl (using CGI and HTML), also - on the main menu page there is now a little piece of Javascript that enables the sort-by menu to auto-load on change. |

I have made it my life's mission to whack VB & VBA into submission |
| Atzilut | | posted 31-Mar-1998 11:13am |
oops. I forgot emacs LISP too. . .lara: you're right, actually, neither is TeX/LaTeX I guess. o well. Pomeranian: oh really. and I bet you get off pushing that big rock up the hill every day only to have it roll down and then get chained to it while a winged bill gates eats your liver out only to have it grow back. . . or am I conflating here? |

I can program the clock on my VCR using this really complicated language called C++++++. |

In highschool I was able to work in Apple ][ machine code. Now I'm lucky if I can folow what somone's doing in C... |
| jefff | | posted 6-Apr-1998 11:21am |
and Objective C, NewtonScript, PalmOS, Lucifer, MUMPS - A lot of the things you listed aren't programming languages. |
| Resy |
Oh yeah, used to be a COBOL programmer ... wrote that stuff with the 2-digit years ... who knew memory would get so cheap and that 2000 would see that code still in use?! Now, I mostly write scripts (Korn shell, perl). |
| seth | | posted 20-Apr-1998 8:00pm |
I prefer Java and Perl, but I use Smalltalk for work. |
| fiji | | posted 30-Apr-1998 10:16am |
Umm... I wouldn't call HTML a "computer programming language" |
| Mark |
As well as a few flavours of assembly, APL, Prolog, EDL ... I'm mainly into Object Oriented design and implementation, these days (the past eight years). |
| lelle | | posted 14-May-1998 10:55am |
I'm not a programmer, but I can do simple calculation and iteration stuff for engineering problems (in BASIC or FORTRAN). I LaTeX (and when Joe Provo introduced me to WWW stuff, I thought HTML was just like LaTeX). I have a web page so I suppose I do HTML. :) I learned Logo in high school, too. :) |

SQL and FSR, a sed/awk'ish thing. |
| reality | | posted 16-Jun-1998 11:16am |
VERY simple programs in C++ and I had a course in fortran once.. |
| phi | | posted 17-Jun-1998 11:12pm |
Verilog. VHDL. AHDL/ABEL. sh, zsh, csh, etc. Oh, and I don't particularly think that HTML, TeX/LaTeX, et al count as 'programming' languages. |
| dpolicar | | posted 11-Aug-1998 4:20pm |
a bunch of these I have used but would need to seriously brush up on before I could even read code in it. And since you asked, I question the inclusion of Tex/LaTeX, HTML, and "Regular Expressions", |
| gilly | | posted 14-Aug-1998 4:39pm |
I don't really consider HTML programming, but I know it. I used to know BASIC - dunno if I remember any. I took Pascal in high school and one semester of C in college, but I don't remember any more than printf and the unending horror of missing semicolons. |
